"Sae Will We Yet" sung by Joseph Chisholm.
Sung by Joseph Chisholm and recorded by collector George Proctor in about 1960. The original words of "sae Will We Yet" were composed by Scottish poet Walter Watson (1780–1854). They had been considerably changed by the "folk process" by the time Mr. Chisholm learned them. "Sae means "so". The transcription of the melody is a composite of the ways Mr. Chishom sang it over the course of the song. It is the well-known Irish tune often called "The Rising of The Moon" or "The Wearing Of The Green".
