Johnie Scot

Johnie Scot (Roud 63, Child 99) is a traditional English-language folk ballad.

[1] Johnie Scot served the king of England and got his daughter pregnant.

One day, back in Scotland, he sent a shirt to his love, and she sent back a letter with the news.

He raised a force and came to her rescue.
