The Bluebells of Scotland : Scottish folk song [1]

The free encyclopedia Wikipedia bigins with next sentence : The Bluebells of Scotland is the usual modern name for a Scottish folk song. It was written by Dora Jordan, an English actress and writer. First published in 1801.

The Bluebells of Scotland→スコットランドの釣鐘草
In this score on old brown paper you can recognize a word 'traditional' at right-above corner. What does ''traditional'' mean? It may be the Lylics written by Dora Jordan. It is then following text although I can't read it clearly on the brownish score. I picked up a text from another source that consists of 5 sections. The 1st section as fllowing;.
Oh where, tell me where, has your Highland laddie gone?
Oh where, tell me where, has your Highland laddie gone?
He's gone wi' streaming banners where noble deeds are
Done
And it's oh, in my heart I wish him safe at home.

The melody is very known, of course, in Britain and in far East too, especially in Japan. Not by contemporary but rather traditional generation who learned the song at school. Here you will be able to recognize a little bit nostalgic song by next YouTube page.
The bluebell of the Scotland
By the way there is another 'Traditional' text. The first one sounds as a love song. This another lyrics seems to take plants/flowers/grass as the theme in the song itself.
The Thistle, Scotland's badge
Up from Freedom's soil it grew,
Her foes aye found it hedg'd round
With rosemarie and rue.
And, emblem that her daughters were modest, leal, and true,
From off the rocks, to deck their locks,
They pluck'd the Bell of Blue!
The Heathbell, the Harehell,
Old Scotland's Bell of Blue!
The Heathbell, the Harebell,
Old Scotland's Bell of Blue!
【Note】;
1. Dora Jordan had an affair with Duke of Clarence, later King William IV. Between them many illegitimate children in more than 20 years., all of them colled FitzClarence. Fitz means in this case ''Bastard''.
