'''SHE'S BONNIE AN' BRAW(, AN' THAT'S A').''' Scottish, Jig (6/8 time). A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. From the '''Logie Collection''' (1888, p. 14), composed by Aberdeenshire fiddler-composer [[biography:J. Scott Skinner]] (1843-1927). Skinner characterizes it “For Flirtation.” The title harkens to the older Scottish jig "[[She's Fair and Fause]]," but Skinner dedicated his tune to James Munro, a chemist in Inverurie.  Words by "W.M." were printed with the tune and tell of a haughty and disdainful female--one wonders if chemist Munro was a rejected suitor:
<blockquote>
''She's bonnie an' braw, an' that's a' ''<br>
''Her heart is as could as the snow,''<br>
''She can sing, she can dance, she has been over to France,''<br>
''She is fu' o' romance, an' that's a'.''<br>
<br>
''Her beauty's skin deep, an' that's a',''<br>
''It's the velvet that covers the claw,''<br>
''She's a honeybees flour, she's as light as the stour,''<br>
''Ye may trust her an hour, an' that's a'.''<br>
</blockquote> 
"W.M." was William Martin, a schoolmaster at Inverkeithnie, near Turiff.
