I'M OVER/OWRE YOUNG TO MARRY YET [1]. AKA - "Over Young to Marry." AKA and see "Bonny Lad to Marry Me (A)." Scottish, Irish, English, American; Reel. G Major (most versions): C Major (Bremner, McGlashan). Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB (most versions): AABB (Bremner). Similar to "Roy's Wife of Aldivalloch," "Lady Frances Wemys' Reel," "Ruffian's Rant (The)," "Coig na Scalan," "Ben Nevis," "Old Virginia Reel (1)," "Kilt is My Delight (The)." John Glen (1891) finds the earliest appearance of this tune in Robert Bremner's 1757 collection, although it also appears early in print in Neil Stewart's 1761 collection. See also the related tunes "Were You at the Fair," "Pretty Lass (The)," "Donny Brook (1)." The title comes from the Scots poet Robert Burns, who reworked an older (and somewhat bawdy) song called "I'm o'er young to marry" to make it more acceptable. The chorus goes:
I'm o'er young, I'm o'er young,
I'm o'er young to marry yet,
I'm o'er young, 'twad be a sin
To tak' me frae my mammie yet.
New York writer, researcher and musician Don Meade says the tune is "played as a fling in Ireland and is used as the air to many songs, including 'Limerick Races'".
