    An 800 year old Scottish song that's had the lyrics changed several times and reintroduced with a modified slip-jig back in the 1970s. Love it.

    YEEEEHAAAAAW!!! Hell, yeah, that's what I'm talkin' about! That's one of my favorite bluegrass/traditional country songs. I'm a Sand Mountain Alabama native and was raised up listening to songs like that (in addition to The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Deep Purple, and The Who, of course). Every time I hear bluegrass, I get chills and goosebumps because it's the music of my people, most of whom came from Scotland, Ireland, and northern England. Celtic music evolved into bluegrass over here, so to say there's a similarity is being redundant. Bluegrass IS Celtic music, and I'm proud to be a Celt.
