EDINBURGH KATE. AKA - "Young Laird and Edinburgh Katy (The)." AKA and see "Coming Through the Broom My Jo," "Lord Haddo's Favorite," "Wat ye whe I met yestreen." Scottish, Air (whole time). A Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. The words to the song "The Young Laird and Edinburgh Katy" were inserted into Allan Ramsay's (1686-1758) Tea Table Miscellany, vol. 1 (1724-7), although it had also been printed by him four years earlier. The music, however, was not published until 1726, in Alexander Stuart's aptly-named Musick for the Tea Table Miscellany, although the name of the piece in the latter volume is "Wat ye whe I met yestreen." The lyric is was based on an older song, now lost, and begins:

Now wat ye wha I met yestreen,
Coming down the street, my Jo?
My mistress in her tartan screen,
Fu' bonny, braw, and sweet, my jo.
My dear, quoth I, thanks to the night,
That never wish'd a lover ill,
Since ye're out of your mother's sight,
Let's tak a wauk up to the hill.

Ramsay's next song in the volume is "Katy's Answer," beginning with the line "My Minnie's Aye Glowren O'er Me," by which the tune is usually known.
