FOR A' THAT AND A' THAT. AKA and see "Black but Comely," "Black Laddie My Darling," "Gille Dubh Mo Laochan (An)," "Lady MacIntosh's Reel (1)," "Mo Laochan," "Strawberry Blossom (2)," "There's Nae Luck Aboot the Hoose (1)," "There's Nae Luck Aboot the Hoose There's Nae Luck Ava (1)." Scottish, English; Reel. England, Northumberland. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB (Gow, Vickers): AABB' (Kerr). Made famous by poet Robert Burns ("A Man's a Man for a' that"), although he adapted the words and tune of an existing older air.

Source for notated version: the 1770 music manuscript collection of Northumbrian musician William Vickers [Seattle]. Unfortunately, little is known about the compiler.

Printed sources: Carlin (The Gow Collection), 1986; No. 561 ("There's Nae Luck...") and 523 ("Lady Mackintosh"). Kerr (Merry Melodies), vol. 2; No. 145, p. 17. Seattle (Great Northern/William Vickers), 1987, Part 3; No. 485.
