WILT THOU BE MY DEARIE. Scottish, Air (2/4 or whole time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). The song by poet Robert Burns was printed in James Johnson's Scots Musical Museum, vol. 5 (1797,Song 470, p. 484), set to a version of the older air "Suttor's Dochter (The)" (AKA "Cobbler's Daughter (The)," "Shoemaker's Daughter (1)" and "Dutchess of Buccleugh's Reel (The)") printed in 1761 in Edinburgh by Neil Stewart. Burns's song begins:
Wilt thou be my Dearie;
When sorrow wrings thy gentle heart,
O wilt thou let me cheer thee:
By the treasure of my soul,
That's the love I bear thee!
I swear and vow,
That only thou shall ever be my dearie.
Only thou I swear and vow,
Shall ever be my Dearie.
