"Come All Ye Tramps And Hawkers" is a Scottish Ballad, written around 1870/1880 by an Angus hawker by-named 'Brechin Jimmy' and 'Besom Jimmy' - his real name was Jimmy Henderson, born in 1850 in Brechin (county Angus) in Scotland.
Jimmy used a tune from an air, which might be more than 150 years old, and which was used in many songs around: a.o.: "Peter Emberley", "The Faughan Side", "The Homes of Donegal", "Davie Faa" and "Paddy West".
Bob Dylan used the tune for at least 3 of his compositions: "The Ballad of Donald White", "I Pity the Poor Immigrant" and "Huck's Tune" - Licensing
