ABB' (Fraser): AABB' (Johnson). "A very imperfect set, indeed, of this melody pervades a good part of the country. In Burns' Reliques, published by Mr. Cromek, there is a song, called 'The Banks of the Devon,' said to be to this air, of which the editor was ignorant; but it is observed that Burns acquired the air from a young lady in Inverness,—doubtless from one who had similar access with the editor to the compilations of his progenitor and Mr. Fraser of Culduthel" (Fraser).
