'''BROOM, THE BONNY, BONNY BROOM'''. AKA -  "[[Broom of the Cowdenknowes]]," "[[Cowden Knowes]]," "[[Cowdenknowes]]," "[[Lovely Northerne Lass (The)]]," "[[O My King]]," "[[O the Broom]]."  Scottish, English ; Air and Country Dance Air (2/2 time). England; Northumberland, Shropshire. F Major (Barnes, Karpeles, Raven, Sharp, Williamson): G Major (Ashman). Standard tuning (fiddle). One part (Ashman, Karpeles, Raven, Sharp, Williamson): AABB (Barnes). This very old Northumbrian air has been set to various words, but most famously appears as "The Broom of the Cowdenknows." Broom is a bush with brilliant yellow flowers that grows all over England and Southern Scotland on hillsides.  Stems of the plant were at one time bundled together and bound to sticks for use as sweepers, hence the name 'broom' for the common implement. Cowdenknowes itself, with its famous broom, is situated on the east bank of the River Leader, five miles northeast of Melrose.

The piece can be traced back to the mid-17th century, probably Scottish in origin, or at least so believed antiquarian researchers William Stenhouse, G.F. Graham, and John Muir Wood. Stenhouse believed it was probably one of those introduced into England after 1603 with the advent of the Stuart monarchy.  Graham says, "This is a very ancient and beautiful air of one strain," and adds, "That in all the versions given in the older Scottish collections, the air begins on the second note of the scale, while in Playford's '''Dancing Master''' 1651, it begins on the fifth, and in Watt's '''Musical Miscellany''', and some other works on the key-note itself" (quoted from Glen, '''Early Scottish Melodies''', 1900). The tune was popular, widely known in Britain, and frequently used as the vehicle for numerous lyrics; it appears, for example, set for four different songs in the '''Tea Table Miscellany''' (1724), though the earliest English appearance seems to have been in the first edition of John Playford's '''English Dancing Master''' (1651-John Glen thought the Playford version "very insipid"). Playford also included it in his '''Musick's Delight on the Cithern''' (1666). Scots versions predate English ones with the melody used for broadside ballads at least as early as 1632. Later Scots versions of the song are to be found in '''Orpheus Caledonius''' (1725) and '''The Scots Musical Museum''' (1787). The song was mentioned in the text of the very first ballad opera, '''The Gentle Shepherd''' (1725), written by Allan Ramsay (although his work was not performed before Gay's 1729 '''Beggar's Opera''' became a hit), and subsequently in the ballad operas '''Beggar's Opera''', '''The Highland Fair''' and '''The Decoy'''. Even the German composer J.C. Bach (son of the more famous Johan Sebastian) penned a setting of this melody.

The name of the tune appears in a 1721 poetic address by Allan Ramsay addressed to the Edinburgh Musical Society.
