* These verses were written by Allan Ramsay for his Tea-table Miscellany, 1724. They are entitled "Katy's Ans\ver." and refer to the
preceding song-. " The Young Laird and Edinburgh Katy." Stenhouae considers that the tune is one of those which were introduced into
England about the union of the crowns. ]t appears in John Playford's Danciiig Master, 1657, and in Durfey's Pills to Purge Melancholy,
vol- ii., 1719. in connection with a coarse song, headed "The Female Quarrel ; or, a lampoon upon Phillida and Chloris. The words made
to the tune of a country dance, call'd A Health to Betty." The original verses, entitled " A Health to Betty," are given by Thomson In his
Orpheus Caledonius, 1725, p. 25. The second strain of the air, commencing at the ninth bar, is a modern addition.
