BOATMAN [1] (Boate Man). English, Country Dance Tune (6/8 or 6/4 time). D Major (Fleming-Williams): C Major (Barnes, Chappell, Karpeles, Sharp). Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Chappell): ABB (Sharp): AABB (Barnes, Fleming-Williams, Karpeles). The air was first published (with directions for a country dance) by John Playford in the first edition of The English Dancing Master (1651) and again in his Musick's Recreation on the Viol, Lyra-way (1661), and it was retained in the series of editions of the Dancing Master through the 10th edition of 1698, published at the time by John's son, Henry Playford. A song to the tune was published by poet and playwright Wikipedia:Allan_Ramsay_(poet) (1686-1758) and published in his Tea-Table Miscellany (1724) and is titled "The Bonny Scot." Anne Gilchrist[1], however, believes there was an original song, now lost (which may have been adapted by Ramsay). Ramsay's verses begin:
Ye gales that gently wave the sea
And please the canny boatman
Bear me frae hence and bring to me
My brave, my bonny Scot-man:
In haly bands
We join'd our hands
Yet may not this discover
While parents rate
A large estate
Before a faithful lover.
The air to Ramsay's verses was published by London singer and song collector William Thomson in his Orpheus Caledonius (1725), who ascribed it to David Rizzio (1533-1566) in his first edition, although this was removed in the second edition of 1733[2].
