AULD ROB THE LAIRD. Scottish, Air (whole time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. The song "Auld Rob the Laird" is printed in the Scots Musical Museum, vol. 4 (1797, p, 420). It begins:

'Auld Rob the laird o' muckle land,
to woo me was nae very blate,
But spite o' a' his gear he fand,
he came to woo, a day o'er late.
A lad sae blyth, sae full o' glee,
My heart did never never ken,
And nane can gie sic joy to me,
as Jamie o' the glen.'
