Burns wrote to his friend and publisher Thomson in September, 1793, "There is a third tune, and what Oswald calls 'The Old Highland Laddie,' which pleases me more than either of them; it is sometimes called 'Jinglin' Johnie,' that being the air of an old humorous bawdy song of that name—you will find it in the Museum."

Burns refers to James Oswald's Curious Collection of Scots Tunes (1740), in which the song is dedicated to the Duke of Perth.

The piece is also entitled 'The Highland Laddie' and is very similar to the song, 'The German Lardy', also collected by Burns for the 'Museum'.

In the Genriddel manuscript Burns notes: "The 'Highland Laddie' is an excellent but somewhat licentious song beginning, 'As I can' o'er the Cairney Mount.'"

As I came o'er the Cairney mount,
And down amang the blooming heather,
The Highland laddie drew his dirk
And sheath'd it in my wanton leather.

O my bonnie, bonnie Highland lad,
My handsome, charming Highland laddie;
When I am sick and like to die,
He'll row me in his Highland plaidie.

-This version was sometimes known as the Manx tune and was printed by the Percy Society in 1846, but it appears as well in numerous songsters of the late 18th and 19th centuries, including '''The Jovial Songster''' (1800), '''The Nightingale''' (1802) and Charles Wilson's '''The Myrtle and Vine; or, Complete Vocal Library''' (1803).
+Burns wrote to his friend and publisher Thomson in September, 1793, "There is a third tune, and what Oswald calls 'The Old Highland Laddie,' which pleases me more than either of them; it is sometimes called 'Jinglin' Johnie,' that being the air of an old humorous bawdy song of that name—you will find it in the Museum."
-It is the basis of the Manx ballad, 'The Capture of Carrickfergusby,' written by Thurot in 1760 (Linscott, 1939). Samuel Bayard (1944, 1981) comments on the popularity of the air over the past two centuries as well as the tenacity of the main title to stick with the tune. When Chappell printed his well-known set in '''National English Airs''' (1840, I, No. 163; notes, II, 129; reprinted in JEFDSS, III, 210), he traced the tune to the year 1767, when it was used in pantomime, to a song beginning 'Come, haste to the wedding, ye friends and ye neighbors!'
+Burns refers to James Oswald's '''Curious Collection of Scots Tunes''' (1740), in which the song is dedicated to the Duke of Perth.
-This version of the air, continues Bayard, is still the earliest known, and it may be that the popularity of the song occasioned the fixed quality of the title. In his 1944 work Bayard poses the question as to whether the words were included in the original pantomime as a result of its associations, or whether the later uses of the tune secured it.
+The piece is also entitled 'The Highland Laddie' and is very similar to the song, 'The German Lardy', also collected by Burns for the 'Museum'.
-However, the tune's appearance under the title "[[Small Pin Cushion (The)]]" in cellist-composer James Oswald's '''Caledonian Pocket Companion, Book 10''' (London, 1760), and the Manx "Capture of Carrickferusby" both predate the pantomime.
+In the Genriddel manuscript Burns notes: "The 'Highland Laddie' is an excellent but somewhat licentious song beginning, 'As I can' o'er the Cairney Mount.'"
-At best, the provenance of the tune is yet to be discovered although it would appear to have Gaelic origins, and it may even be that it was Oswald's composition.
