WILLIE BREW'D A PECK O' MAUT.' Scottish, Air (whole time). E Flat Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. The words are by poet Robert Burns (1759-1796), but the tune was composed by his friend Allan Masterton. It was written 1789 in commemoration of an event in the Scottish Borders town of Moffat, a convivial meeting that took place between Burns, William Nicol, of the High School, Edinburgh, and Allan Masterton, another school-master, and musical amateur. Burns wrote:
The air is Masterton's the song mine. The occasion of it was this :- Mr William Nicol, of the High School, Edinburgh, during the autumn vacation being at Moffat, honest Allan - who was at that time on a visit to Dalswinton - and I went to pay Nicol a visit. We had such a joyous meeting, that Mr Masterton and I agreed, each in our own way, that we should celebrate the business.
The first stanza and chorus go:
Willie brewed a peck o' maut
And Rab and Alan came to pree
Three blyther lads that lee-lang nicht
Ye wadna found in Christendie
Chorus:
We are nae fu', we're nae that fu',
But just a drappie in oor e'e
The cock may craw, the day may daw
But aye we'll taste the barley bree.
Lockhart has pronounced this "the best of all Burns's bacchanalian pieces."
