KETTLEBENDER. Scottish, Air (whole time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCC. The words and music to the song "Kettlebende" can be found in the songster The Merry Muses (London, 1756, p. 99) The first several stanzas go:
All you who are or fair or witty,
Come and listen to my ditty;
My muse shall sing, if you’ll attend her,
Refrain:
Of that same thing call’d the Kettlebender.
O rare Kettlebender, O rare Kettle-Kettlebender.
The ladies take it all their heads in
That it’s the universal med’cine
For old or young or weak or tender,
All find ease by the Kettlebender.
Nay some, who matters fain wou’d gloss over,
Say ‘tis the stone of great philosopher;
For hardest hearts it soft will render,
Transmuted by the Kettlebender.
