KEY(S) OF THE CELLAR, THE. AKA and see "Come Ye Ower Frae France," "Marchioness of Tweeddale's Delight (The)." Scottish, Country Dance Tune (3/2 time). B Flat Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune, in old hornpipe metre, appears in the Bodleian Manuscript (in the Bodleian Library, Oxford), inscribed "A Collection of the Newest Country Dances Performed in Scotland written at Edinburgh by D.A. Young, W.M. 1740." It is the vehicle for the political satire song "Cam Ye Ower Frae France(, Cam ye round by London)," and the bawdy Irish ballad "The Rakes of Stoney Batter" (Bruce Olson finds this latter song has a verse which mentions the even older English song and dance tune "Bobbing Joan," and because of this the "Rakes" tune became itself known as "Bobbing Joan" or "Bob and Joan." The "Bob" title and variants even came to replace the original title in some Scottish publications).

Source for notated version:

Printed sources: Emmerson (Rantin' Pipe and Tremblin' String), 1971; No. 16, p. 121. Gow, Second Collection (2nd Ed.), 1803.
