CLOUT THE CALDRON [2]. Scottish, Air (4/4 time). C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABCC. A note on the manuscript in Skinner's hand reads: "'Bishop Chisholm would have gone to the Scaffold to this famous tune so thoroughly characteristic is it." Allan Ramsay's mildly bawdy lyric "Clout the Caldron" may be found in Thompson's Orpheus Caledoneus, vol. 2 (2nd ed., 1733, Song 25).

Have you any pots or pans,
Or any broken chandlers?
I am a tinkler to my trade,
And newly come frae Flanders.

As scant of siller as of grace,
Disbanded, we've a bad-run;
Gar tell the lady of the place,
I'm come to clout her caldron.
Fa adrie, didle, didle, &c.
