'''BROSE AND BUTTER'''. AKA and see "[[Peacock Followed the Hen]]," "[[Peacock Follows the Hen]]," "[[Cuddle Me Cuddy]]," "[[Yellow Stockings]]," "[[Mad Moll (1)]]," "[[Up and Down Again]]," "[[Virgin Queen (The)]]." AKA - "Uilleam 's Caulm's Mòrag" (William and Malcolm and Marion). Scottish, Country Dance Tune (9/8 time). D Major (Howe, Kennedy, Kerr, Martin): G Major {Bremner, Gow}. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB (Gow, Martin): AABB (Bremner, Kennedy, Kerr). The tune is a member of a very large tune family that also includes "[[Up with Aley]]," "The Faraway Wedding," "[[Cummilum]]," "[[Ride a Mile]]," "Hey My Nanny/Nancy," "The Honeymoon," "The Dusty Miller," "[[Kitten (The)]]," "[[Jerry Houlihan]]," "[[Cudgel (The)]]," "[[Drops of Brandy]]," "[[Drops of Whiskey]]," and "[[Follow Her over the Border]]." According to Ford ('''Song Histories''', 1900, pp. 189-190) "Brose and Butter" was a favourite air of Charles II in his exile. Despite the reference to the king (which would date it to the 1640's), John Glen (1891) does not find a printed version until Robert Bremner's 1757 collection. Brose is Scottish dish made with a boiling liquid and meal; "a dish of oat- or pease-meal mixed with boiling water or milk, with salt and butter etc added" ('''Concise Scots Dictionary'''). Origins of the term are unclear, although Webster's suggests perhaps it is an alteration of the Scots bruis broth, from Middle English brewes, from Old French broez, nominative singular of broet, diminutive of breu broth (see also note for "Atholl Brose").

There are suggestive lyrics to the melody printed by Herd (1776, vol. II, pp. 203-204):

Poet Robert Burns printed a more-than-suggestive version in his '''Merry Muses of Caledonia: A Collection of Favourite Scots Songs Ancient and Modern; Selected for Use of the Crochallan Fencibles''' (1799). His lyric goes:
<blockquote>
''Jenny sits up i' the laft,''<br>
''Jockey wad fain a been at her, ''<br>
''But there cam' a wind out o' the west,''<br>
''Made a' the winnocks to clatter. ''<br>

</blockquote>
The melody (which begins on the relative minor chord) is still used as a mess call in Highland regiments. Martin (2002) prints the tune (along with "I Hae a Wife of my Ain" and "Drops of Brandy") as a vehicle for the dance Strip the Willow. See also Francis O'Neill's (1903) version as "[[Up and Down Again]]."
