'''BONNY BLACK EAGLE, THE'''. AKA and see "[[Black Eagle (The)]]," "[[High Way to Edinburgh (2) (The)]]." Scottish, Air (4/4 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune bears a 'general resemblance throughout' to "[[Turkey in the Straw]]," although Bayard (1981) thinks it is not a precursor. After comparing them I find the resemblance is slight, at best.

As "[[Black Eagle (The)]]" it appears in Oswald's '''Collection of Curious Scots Tunes''' (1742), after a song by Dr. James Fordyce, the tune attributed to David Rizzio (doomed Queen Mary's equally doomed secretary). John Glen ('''Early Scottish Melodies''', 1900) gives the tune as "[[Woman's Work Will Never be Done]]", in an example of two different tunes with the same title, one English and one Scottish, saying the Scottish one is also called "[[Bonny Black Eagle]]" or "[[Black Eagle (The)]]." The Scottish "Woman's Work" tune appears in the '''Blaikie Manuscript''' of 1692. James Oswald printed the tune again in his '''Caledonian Pocket Companion''' (1757) under the title "[[High Way to Edinburgh (2) (The)]]," attaching a jig to a slow air.
