JEANIE AND HER LOWLAND LADDIE. Scottish, Air or Song (whole time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. Contrary to the usual practice of setting music to lyrics already written, J. Scott Skinner appears to have composed the melodies of several of the airs in his Miller o' Hirn Collection (1881) first, then solicited writers to set words to them.
