BONNY MARY. AKA and see "Anna, thy charms my bosom fire." Scottish, Air (3/4 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCCDDEE. The air, originally by James Oswald, was used as the vehicle for lyrics by Robert Burns. The tune demonstrates one of the characteristics of Scottish music, the alteration of the major with its relative minor (Emmerson, 1971). The melody appears in the 1840 music manuscript collection of John Rook, of the Wigton, Cumbria, area.
