(This isn’t to say that the song is an anachronism in a film set in 1932: “While Francis McPeake holds the copyright to the song, it is generally believed that rather than writing the song, he arranged an existing travelling folk version… Bob Dylan’s recording of the song cited it as traditional”. Anyway, as we know, music transcends time & space)

One of the many great musical set pieces in the Oscar-winning movie SINNERS is “Will Ye Go, Lassie, Go” (aka “Wild Mountain Thyme”) – adapted in the 1940s by Francis McPeake from “The Braes o Balquhidder”, an original song by Robert Tannahill (1774–1810), Paisley’s “weaver poet”

Never throw a brick to a drowning man if you’re near to a grocer’s store -
Throw him a cake of Sunlight soap for to wash him back to shore.

(This has been stuck in my head for a while now. I know it from the singing of Will Duke and Dan Quinn…)
