FOR THE LOVE OF GEAN. AKA - "For the Love of Jean." Scottish, Air (3/2 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCCDDEE (Young): AABBCCDDEEFF (Oswald). The song, as "For the Love of Jean," appears in poet and writer Alan Ramsay's Tea-Table Miscellaney (1724), with the letter 'Z' attached to it, indicating that it was old and the author was unknown. However, the 19th century antiquarian William Stenhouse could find no earlier occurance of the music, other than in Music for the Scots Songs in the Tea-Table Miscellaney. Scottish musician and dancing master included the melody with a few variation sets in his MacFarlane Manuscript (c. 1740, No. 41, pp. 82-83), "Written for the use of Walter Mcfarlan of that ilk." Later versions of the song were published as "Jocky and Jenny" or "Jockey Said to Jenny (1)."
