VAUNTINE. English (?), Country Dance Tune (2/4 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCCDD. The title is perhaps a variant of vaunting, meaning to be boastful, flaunting, or bragging:
Her cuttysark, o’ Paisley harn, That while a lassie she had worn, In longitude tho’ sorely scanty, It was her best, and she was vauntine.—ROBERT BURNS, “Tam o’ Shanter”
