I have a little favor to ask of the elder rural Scottish folks: i'm trying to remember an old folk song my grandmother used to sing to me. she was born in 1911 in either bells hills or bathgate [not sure which] and was a middle/younger child of 17 siblings, for context. more in post πŸ™πŸŽΆπŸ’­,


 it was something about swinging on an apple tree

i can *almost* remember it
   it's just out of reach

it was definitely something more rural and folksong in nature
   a children's song


    it has haunted me for decades
  trying to remember it
none of my other cousins seem to remember it
 #generationalgaps

makes me nuts that i can't remember it
  it was such a beautiful song
