Auld Robin Gray

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Auld Robin Gray is the title of a Scots ballad written by the Scottish poet Lady Anne Lindsay in 1772.

The title comes from the name of its hero, a good old man who married a young girl whose lover is thought to be dead, but who turns up to claim her a month after.

The original tune was composed by the Rev. William Leeves.
