Among the Blue Flowers and the Yellow- Gordeanna McCulloch from Harmonious Companions by Myers.
[This version of "Among the Blue Flowers and the Yellow" was transcribed from the singing of Gordeanna McCullochand appears in Harmonious Companions by Myers. McCulloch sang a version with the band The Clutha on Bonnie Mill Dams (Topic 12TS330, 1977). I'm not sure of the version McCulloch sang or her source. The following info is from Nigel Gatherer's site:
"Gordeanna McCulloch from Glasgow went to the school where Norman Buchan ran his famous Ballads Club, and shortly afterwards she travelled to London to attend Ewan MacColl's class of singers. Gordeanna also had an early spell singing with The Clydesiders, and more recently she has been involved with Palaver and Glasgow's Euridice Choir.
The Clutha formed in 1964 by three librarians from the Mitchell Library in Glasgow plus one of their former colleagues. One founder member, Don Martin played guitar and sand, and unearthed much of the group's material from the Mitchell Library's music department. From Kirkintilloch, Don left the Mitchell in the mid-1970s to be local studies librarian in Strathkelvin, and he is the author of several books on the area. By 1965 they had added fiddler Callum Allan and singer Gordeanna McCulloch. With this line-up they performed for at least ten years, winning the Peter Cooke Cup for Scots ceilidh bands three years in a row (1971-73). The band added piper Jimmy Anderson shortly after recording their Scots Ballads... LP. Since 1977 their piper has been Tom Johnstone. The band still perform and record occasionally."

Among the Blue Flowers and the Yellow- Gordeanna McCulloch from Harmonious Companions by Myers.
"Oh, Willie, my son, what makes ye so sad?"
As the sun shines over the valley
"I lie sorely sick for the love of a maid."
Among the blue flow'rs and the yellow.
"Oh, is she an heiress or lady fine?"
"That she winna take nae pity on thee?"
"Oh, Willie, my son, lay doon in your bed."
"And I will go tell her that my young son is dead."
And the lady came doon frae her castle sae high
Not knowing her Willie would sicken and die.
As she looked into the coffin and pall
He pulled her doon by him and lay her ni'est the wall.
"Though all of your kin were aboot yon bower
Ye shall no be a maiden one single hour."
"For a maid ye came here wi' oot a convoy
And ye shall return wi' a horse and a boy."
"Ye came here a maiden sae meek and sae mild
But ye shall gae hame a wedded wife wi' a child."
