The Corries. A traditional song brought back to life by Ewan McColl in the 50's.Johnny lad sheet music notes in Do Re Mi solfege included. it's known as ''A Street Song'' and that's why the words get changed depending who the singer is. The earliest reference dates it to the 1830s in the North Of Scotland. My song list of The Corries Tabs . The reference to ''The Pill'' being banned by The Pope was most likely added during the 1960s. Also recorded by The Clancy Brothers And Tommy Makem.
