BLACK MARY. AKA and see "Melvil House." Scottish, Air (whole time). C Major (Gow): G Major (Aird). Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Aird): AABB (Gow). 'Black Mary' = 'Dark-haired Mary'. "A very old Gaelic air" (Gow). The air is named "Is fallain gun dith thainig thu" and was set by Gow to words by poet James Hogg (1770-1835), The Ettrick Shepherd:
Black Mary
Mary is my only joy,
Mary is blithe, and Mary is coy,
Mary's the goud where there's nae alloy--
Though Black, yet O she's bonny.
Her breath is the birken bower o' spring,
Her lips the young rose opening,
An' her hair is the hue o' the raven's wing,
She's Black, but O she's bonny!
