I'll Mak' Ye Fain To Follow Me - Scottish Country Dancing Instruction VideoDance Information
The title of this dance, I'll Mak' Ye Fain To Follow Me, comes from the I'll Make You Fain To Follow Me - Song, sung to the tune 'I'll mak you be fain to follow me'.As late by a sodger I happen'd to pass,
I heard him courting a bonnie young lass:
My hinnie, my life, my dearest, quo' he,
I'll make you be fain to follow me.
