OLD AUNT KATIE [2]. AKA and see "Cluck Old Hen (3)" (Pa. floating title). Old-Time, Breakdown. USA, southwestern Pa. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. The given title as well as the alternate appear to be floating titles. The tune is Scottish in origin, according to Bayard (1981), with a number of titles including "Marquis of Hastings' Strathspey (The)," "Louden's/Loudon's Bonnie Woods (and Braes)," "Lord Moira's Welcome to Scotland," and "Lord Moira." Two lyrics are associated with the tune in Pennsylvania:
Old Aunt Katie, good enough for anybody,
Old Aunt Katie, good enough at all;
Old Aunt Katie, good enough for anybody,
Take 'er in her old clothes, or don't take her at all.
And:
Cluck old hen, cluck right along;
Cluck old hen, till your chickens rolls on;
Cluck old hen, and I don't give a damn--
I can git a woman if you can git a man. .... (Bayard)
