'''BONNY LASS TO MARRY ME, A'''. Scottish, Reel. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Glen finds this tune first published by Robert Bremner in his 1757 collection, soon afterwards appearing in James Oswald's '''Caledonian Pocket Companion''' (1760). It is perhaps also "A Bonny Lad to Marry Me." The melody appears in the music manuscripts of Setauket, Long Island, New York, painter and fiddler William Sydney Mount (1807-1868) on a page with other Scottish tunes such as "[[Cotter Reel]]," "[[Miss Betty Forbes Reel]]" and "[[Mrs. Abercrombys of Glupas Reel]]." It is perhaps an ancestral tune to the Irish "[[Breeches On (The)]]" or "[[Oh the Britches Full of Stitches]]."
