'''COUTIE'S WEDDING'''. AKA and see "Cuttie's Wedding." AKA - "Cutty's Wedding." Scottish, Strathspey. A Aeolian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Surenne): AAB (Gow, McGlashan, Stewart-Robertson): AABB' (Kerr). Cuttie is Scots for 'shorty', supposedly the nickname of the bridegroom, a local fisherman in the parish of St. Fergus, Drumlithie, Scotland. His wedding was around the year 1770 and was a penny (or "siller") affair, and this tune was composed for it, according to collector Peter Buchan (1790-1854), writing in his '''Ancient Ballads and Songs of the North of Scotland''' (1828). Words to the melody, printed by Buchan, go:
<blockquote>
''Busk and go, busk and go,''<br>
''Busk and go tae Cuttie's wedding;''<br>
''Fa's the lassie and the lad,''<br>
''That widnae gang if they were bidden.''<br>
<br>
''Cuttie he's a lang man, ''<br>
''o he'll tak' hissel' a wife;''<br>
''Gin he tak's on tae the toonlan',''<br>
''Gin she takes on her fikie-fikie.''<br>
<br>
''Cuttie he cam' here yestreen,''<br>
''Cuttie he fell o'er the midden;''<br>
''He wat his hose an' tine his sheen,''<br>
''Courtin' at a cankered maiden.''<br>
</blockquote>
