WANTONESS FOR EVER MORE. Scottish, Country Dance Tune. E Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCCDD. The tune appears in Kirkmichael, Perthshire, fiddler Robert Petrie’s first collection, and in Glasgow publisher James Aird's third collection (1788) with the parts reversed. Robert Burns wrote verses to the tune, that Stenhouse says he found in Aird's collection (although he thinks little of Burns's lyric).
