the verses as early in the eighteenth century. It is interesting to note that one of the verses seems to hav
in the old Scottish song called "Eantin' roarin' laddie," preserved in David Herd's Scottish Songs, vol. ii., 1776.
I'll sell my rook, my reel, my tow.
My gude grey jn are and hacket cow,
To buy my love a tartan plaid,
Because he is a roving blade.
The version of the air adopted here is from Horncastle's Music of Ireland, pt. iii., 1844.
