FOR OUR LONG BIDING HERE. Scottish, Air (cut time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. The air appears in Alexander Stuart/Stewart's Musick for Allan Ramsay’s Collection of Scots Songs, part 3 (c. 1724), a volume of instrumental airs meant to accompany songs in poet Allan Ramsay's Tea Table Miscellany (1724). "For our long biding here" is the indicated tune for "A South Seas Sang" (p. 333[1]). Ramsay's song mentions the misfortunes of the investor who lost in the 'South Seas Bubble', the collapse of an investing venture, but makes no mention that the trade had to do with trans-Atlantic slavery.
