BONNY LASS TO MARRY ME, A. "Bonny Lass to Me (A)." Scottish, Reel. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Glen finds this tune first published by Robert Bremner in his 1757 collection, soon afterwards appearing in James Oswald's Caledonian Pocket Companion, Book 4 (1760).

The reel was entered into the 1840 music manuscript collection of multi-instrumentalist John Rook, of Waverton, Cumbria, and is also contained in vol. 2 of the large mid-19th century music manuscript collection of County Cork cleric and uilleann piper biography:James Goodman. It is considered (by Hugh and Lisa Shields, for one) an ancestral tune to the Irish "Breeches On (The)" or "Oh the Britches Full of Stitches."
