HEY THE BONNIE BREAST KNOTS. Scottish, Air and Highland Schottische (2/4 and 4/4 time). A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB'. The song was composed by John Sinclair and published in 1827.

Hey the bonnie, ho the bonnie, hey the bonnie breast knots,
Blithe and merry were they a' when they put on the breast knots.
There was a bridal in this town,
And till't the lasses were a'boun' wi' mankie facings on their gown;
And some of them had breast knots,
Singing Hey the bonnie, ho the bonnie, hey the bonnie breast knots,
Blithe and merry were they a' when they put on the breast knots.
