BONNY BLACK EAGLE, THE. AKA and see "Black Eagle," "High Way to Edinburgh." Scottish, Air (4/4 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune bears a 'general resemblance throughout' to "Turkey in the Straw," although Bayard (1981) thinks it is not a precursor. After comparing them I find the resemblance is slight, at best. John Glen (Early Scottish Melodies, 1900) gives the tune as "Woman's Work Will Never be Done", in an example of two different tunes with the same title, one English and one Scottish, saying the Scottish one is also called "Bonny Black Eagle" or "The Black Eagle."
