'''O WHAT MM BOMEY GRANEY WAS.''' AKA - "What a Beau My/Your Granny Was [2]." English, Quick Step (6/8 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The melody is contained in the music copybook [https://buttreymilitarysocialtunes1800.wordpress.com/melodies/] of John Buttery (1784-1854), a fifer with British army's 37th (North Hampshire) Regiment of Foot (so designated in the army reorganization of 1782), who served from 1797-1814. Later in life Buttery emigrated to Canada, where he died. Buttery's manuscript collection has also been identified as belonging to John Fife <ref>Early American Secular Music and Its European Sources, https://www.cdss.org/elibrary/Easmes/Index.htm</ref>, with a suggested date of 1780. Fife was a family name, like Buttery, identified with the manuscript.

The title is a corruption of "[[What a beau my granny was (1)]]", although Buttery's tune cannot be considered cognate. There are similarties, particularly in the second strain, but the melody lines do not correspond well, and Buttery's setting in 6/8 is different than the duple time versions of the original tune.  Buttery identifies his entry as a "quick step" indicating it was used as a march tune.
