SONGS OF SCOTLAND.
THE EWE-BUCHTS.
The following song is another of the better productions of
the rustic muse, probably dating from an early period of the
eighteenth century, as it is published in Eamsay's Tea-table
Miscellany, 1724, and, with its fine melody, in the Orpheus
Caledonius, 1725. Bishop Percy paid it the compliment of
inserting it in his Reliques.
