* The author of these verses is unknown. They are puWished in Blackie's Book of Scottish Song, 1843. AVhat seems to be an earlier
version of tliia song was pnblislied by Johnson in tlie Museum, with amendments by Burns. (See Scots' Musical Museum, vol. vi., p. 540).
Johnson's version is evidently founded on the original words of '• John Anderson, my jo," preserved in the Percy MS. of the 16th century.
The air in the Museum is different from the one we have adopted, which is apparently modern.
