» The following is Buohan'3 note to this song in The Garland of Scotia, 1841 : " This song, by Robert Tannahill, was written to the tune
of a very old song of the same name. Tliere are lew, who have ever lifted a foot on a barn floor, that have not danced to ' Sleepy Maggie.'
It is a favourite all the country over. The present air is modern, and more vocal in its nature."
