Artist: Wallace House
Author: John Tait
Label: Folkways
Year: 1953
On 10" album Ballads Of The Revolution (1767-1781). Two versions, one with the original lyrics, one as American Parody. Roud #3484. There are four River Dee's in the UK plus one in Ireland. But Scottish author Tait wrote his song in 1775, one year before the American independence, so the ballad crossed the ocean.
Covers:
Bobby Horton [on Homespun Songs Of The Patriots In The American Revolution]
