Origins and Meaning
The song is believed to have evolved from older Scottish ballads, with the most popular version attributed to Francis McPeake from Belfast in the 1950s. Its recurring refrain, “Will ye go, lassie, go?” is an invitation to walk together in the hills during the summer when the flowers are in bloom.
