About The Song

The Ploughman is a culturally significant traditional song from Ireland, and the version we sing today was gussied up a bit by Ireland's poet laureate Robert Burns. There are many versions of this tune found in song collections such as the Orpheus Caledonius (1733); Herd's MS. (1765-76); The Perth Musical Miscellany (1786); Scots Musical Museum (1788); and The Merry Muses of Caledonia (c.1800). During the new folk boom in the 80s and 90s many folk bands recorded and popularized The Ploughman.
