'''MY MITHER/MINNIE IS AYE GLOWREN O'ER/OWER ME.''' AKA - "[[My Mother's Eye Glowering O'er Me]]." AKA and see "[[Auld Maid Wad be Married]]." Scottish, Jig; Irish, Air. G Minor (Bremner, Gow, McGlashan): E Minor (Kerr, O'Neill, Sweet): A Minor (S. Johnson). Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB (Gow): AABB (Bremner, S. Johnson, Kerr, O'Neill, Sweet). The title means 'my mother is always watching over me.' Chappell (1859) asserts the melody for this tune was appropriated from the English country dance tune "[[Health to Betty (A)]]." The melody appears in the 1768 '''Gillespie Manuscript of Perth''', although John Glen (1891) finds the earliest appearance of the tune in print in Robert Bremner's 1757 collection. Boston publisher Elias Howe (c. 1867) notes: "Burn's song 'Louis, what reck I by thee' is sung to this tune."
