There was a Lad (audio)

This is a lovely song and fiddle tune by Robert Burns. The words were written to the tune "My Dainty Davie". This song is said to be at least 16th century as the Reformers are known to have used it for one of their hymns. It can also be played for a Dashing White Sergeant at a ceilidh.
