BEAUTIFUL!! I had to come and listen to this song. I was reading about Texas history and found out that during the battle of the Alamo there were about eighty Scottish mercenaries fighting along side Crockett, Bowie and the other brave men and women. The Scots' would sing this song. The Mexican's did not understand all the word to the song and so they thought the men were calling themselves Gringos. To this day Mexican's still will refer to white American's as Gringos!!!! I am not only a decent of Scotland but my relative fought in the Texas Revolution against all odds. So honored to be a part of this heritage!!!!
The popular notion that Mexicans started calling Americanos 'gringo' because they heard U.S troops singing this song (or else Green Grow the Lilacs) in the 1840s would seem to be discredited by the fact that the word was already being used to mean 'foreigner' in Spain in 1787. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gringo
My life is so much better because I get to hear Eddi sing everyday! Sure, it's only CZcams or one of many CDs, but I hold out hope she will visit Massachusetts sometime soon.
Well, she's pretty much stolen my heart for good and all. :) I love this poem, and other's of Burns', but this version of Green Grow the Rashes is the living end.
The melody here in more in keeping with the version Karl sang on the Succession series finale. This is my fave v ersion on youtube. ... And Karl DID murder this song, almosty as much as Edie Reader did here.... The melody stucture of both Karl's and Edie's performance.... is not flat like the other redition of this song found on youtube. This is the d be sung, just ion terms of the melody. All kinds of changes can stem from there, as long as that structure is in place.
gie me a canny oo'r at een, my airms aboond my dearie o', and worldly cares and worldly men, mae all go tapsalteerie o'. burns wrote the best love songs ever written. i'm having a lot of them tattoo'd on me such is his influence.
That's a Scottish lassie who can belt oot a tune.And she does it beautifully.Michael Marra from my home city does the best version in my opinion.But well done Eddie Reader-love it!
The secret version: "Gran’ grow my hardies, O! Gran’ grow my hardies, O! The truest luves that e’er I lived I lived wi’ bosom laddies, O! “There's nought but care on ev’ry han’, In ev’ry hour that tarries, O: What signifies the life o’ man, ‘Twere na for lissom laddies, O? Gran' grow, &c. "

@@Fontdalprofundo Right or wrong, it’s still a nice story…
Still love this................God bless darling..........
Eddie's voice is givin me gooses all over, I think Rabbie wrote his songs specially for Eddie Reader.
Nonsense
My life is so much better because I get to hear Eddi sing everyday! Sure, it's only CZcams or one of many CDs, but I hold out hope she will visit Massachusetts sometime soon.
The chords at the start of this are just wonderful and Eddi's vocal is the best. I never tire of listening to this.
What a singer - what a song! T y that I may hear and see this; pure bliss!
Its still the best version ever,bless you,Eddi.
Excellent job performing a magnificent tune.
Just Stunning.
Well, she's pretty much stolen my heart for good and all. :)

love this version
Class
The Burns Club of Atlanta Ga only allow 100 men into their membership. I think Robert Burns would shun them. Go for it Eddi!
Wow.... just wow....
love it
magical
Looovvveee it xx
Probably the best version of this Robert Burns Poem you'll hear. Edie Reader at her best with great musicians. (From a long standing Led Zep fan).
Nice. Very nice.
And Eddie Reader has the voice of an angel.
If you liked this you should check Michael Marra, too.
It's all good!
great backing band too !!
Beautiful rendition!
Marvelous rendition!! Well done.
eddie , sings just as if she was their 250 years ago ,such emotion ,love her

Michael Marra is the man for this song.
Yes this is great, but his rendition is wonderful.
I don't understand how this Reader woman reached such prominence as a 'folk singer'.
What does that even mean?
Eddi Reader - Green Grow The Bushes Ove
Eddi IS MA DARLIN :)
Correct title is "Green grow the rashes o"
The secret version:
"Gran’ grow my hardies, O!
Gran’ grow my hardies, O!
The truest luves that e’er I lived
I lived wi’ bosom laddies, O!
“There's nought but care on ev’ry han’,
In ev’ry hour that tarries, O:
What signifies the life o’ man,
‘Twere na for lissom laddies, O?
Gran' grow, &c.
"
it's amazing that this was written 230 years ago and still is very appropriate and universal today----better than goetta
Alan Rough turns his haun tae yon whistle hing
Beautifully done. Anyone have the chords for guitar?
Which whistle do you use?
Gringos!😂
she got built in auto tune in her throat!
Bring back Kenneth McKellar o !
