Back to Patie's Wedding

PATIE'S WEDDING. Scottish, Air and Slip Jig (9/8 time). A Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. "Patie's Wedding" was a ballad [Roud Folksong Index S218312] popular in the late 18th and 19th centuries, printed in songsters, chapbooks and broadsides. The words are contained in David Herd & George Paton's Ancient and Modern Scottish Songs, Heroic Ballads, etc., vol. 2 (Edinburgh, 1776). It begins:

As Patie cam up frae the glen,
Driving his wethers before him,
He met bonnie Meg ganging hame,
Whase beauty was like for to smore him.
O dinna ye ken, bonnie Meg,
That you and I's gaun to be married;
I rather had broken my leg,
Before sic a bargain miscarried.
