| |f_annotation='''TO DANTON ME.''' AKA - "To Daunton Me." AKA and see "[[Blood Red Rose (The)]]," "[[Moran's Return]]," "[[This Wife of Mine]], "[[What will I do with this thing of mine]]." Scottish, Country Dance Tune (4/4 time) or Highland Schottische. F Major (McGibbon): G Major (Aird): D Mixolydian (Howe, Kerr, O’Farrell); E Minor (Oswald). Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB (Kerr): AABB (Howe, McGibbon, O’Farrell): AABBCCDD (Aird). John Glen ('''Early Scots Melodies''', 1900) finds the tune in the Atkinson manuscript of 1694, albeit under the title “This Wife of Mine.” Bruce Olson cites Logan’s '''The Pedlar’s Pack''' (1869), wherein is the note that a broadside ballad of c. 1700 called “Be Valiant Still” was to be sung to the tune of “The old carle to daunton me," just one of a number of sets of words applied to the tune over time. Northumbrian musician Henry Atkinson entered the tune as "[[This Wife of Mine]]" in his 1694 music manuscript collection, perhaps also the name of a song. | | |f_annotation='''TO DANTON ME.''' |
