T:Bessie's Haggis
'''BESSIE'S HAGGIES'''. AKA - "Bessy Haggice," "Bessy's beauties shine sae bright," "Bonny Bessy." Scottish, Slow Air (4/4 time) or Country Dance Tune. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB (Walsh): AABBCCDDEE (McGibbon). "Bessy's Haggice" was a song in John Watt's ballad opera '''The Highland Fair, or the Union of the Clans''', staged in London in 1731. The song appears in Thomson's '''Orpheus Caledoneus''' (1733) twice, as both "Bessy's Haggice" and "Bessy's beauties shine sae bright.." and was included in Johnson's '''Scots Musical Museum''' (1787, vol. 1, p. 31) under the latter title. "Bessy's Haggis" appears in Hogg's '''Jacobite Relics''' 2nd Series, p. 191 (1821). Allen Ramsey printed a song set to the tune in his '''Tea Table Miscellany''' called "Bonny Bessy," which begins:

Malcolm's '''Jacobite Minstrelsy''' (1828) notes that a Mr. Gordon of Ford communicated the song to Hogg, and indicated is was an old song that predated the Jacobite period. However, it is strongly associated with the Rising of 1745. Malcolm states:

''The sentiment would hardly seem to be justified by facts, if an anecdote told of old Lady Drummuir be authentic. When the Duke'' ''of Cumberland took the command in Scotland and advanced against the Highland army, it was remarked that at Holyrood-House,'' ''Falkirk, and other places, he occupied the same quarters, the same room, and the same bed which Prince Charles had previously'' ''vacated. In like manner, when he entered Inverness, after the victory of Culloden, he took up his lodgings in the house of Lady'' ''Drummuir, whose daughter, Lady McIntosh, had there acted as the presiding divinity of Charles' household for two months before.'' ''How this venerable Jacobite entertained him is not recorded; but the comment which she was accustomed to make on the singular'' ''circumstance of her having lodged both Princes, betokened no great relish for the familiar presence of royalty: " I've ha'en twa'' ''Kings' bairns," said she, "living wi' me, in my time ; but, to tell you the truth, I wish I may ne'er ha'e anither."''
