KELLYBURN BRAES. AKA and see "There lived a carl in Kellyburn braes." Scottish, English; Air (6/8 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Poet Robert Burns wrote a song called "Kellyburn Braes", published in 1792 in Johnson's Scots Musical Museum (No. 379) that begins:

There lived a carl in Kellyburn Braes,
Hey, and the rue grows bonie wi' thyme;
And he had a wife was the plague of his days,
And the thyme it is wither'd, and rue is in prime.

The song was of the Scotch songs set by Joseph Haydn. The melody appears in the 1840 music manuscript collection of multi-intrumentalist John Rook (Waverton, Cumbria).
