Come By the Hills was a favourite of my parents who lived in Cape Breton all their lives. Do you know who wrote it? I’d love to get the sheet music for it. Thanks for playing.

Hi Marilyn, good question. I did a little digging and turned up a bit of info. Turns out the lyrics were written by W Gordon Smith, who was scottish, and it was set to the old irish tune Buachaill ón Éirne. There is more, including a transcription of the tune at the links below. https://thesession.org/discussions/36865 https://thesession.org/tunes/13602
