Here's my note in my Census of Scottish Songs about the original:


CORN-CLIPS, The (My mither men't my auld breeks)
    Anon.
    Bannatyne Garland, 1826.
    Titled Ane Merrie Conceited Geste verrie plesand to be red or sung [bastard title]; t.p. reads Ane plesand Garland, Being ane lytill and Merrie Conceited Geste callit Ye Coirne-clyppis. Schawing howe ane zoung clerke mett with ane maidene, and ye misaduenturis quhilk befell
unto yaime yairthrow. Being profitabill to be read, for ye mair sikker eschewing of ye lyke mischaunces in tymes to cum. Sanct Androis, Imprentit be Robert Lekpreuik. Pp. 3-4 are the "Prologus", 5-6 the "Argument", 7-10 the poem: "Heir begynneth Ane plesand lytill
Geste, callit Coirne-clyppis." Consists of 6 double quatrains; 1st 4 lines: "Mye mithir men't my auld brekis,/ An' vow bot yai wer duddy,/ An' sente mie out to wede ye coirne/ Upon ye bankis o' Logie." The 2nd ed. (n.d., but still 1826) has bastard title Ane Merie Conceitit
Geste, rycht iocund and ioyous. Title modifies 1st ed. very little (Being ~ Beand, etc.). The Prologus says the Geste "is nowe panefullie reformeit and correctit, conforme to ane mair auncient and auctentik uersioune yan yat heirtofoir deuulgat". The poem (pp. 9-12) is in 6 double stanzas as before, except for the last, which inserts 4 extra (repetitive) lines in the middle; the text differs little save in diction ("Mye moder cloutt' my auld brekis" etc.). Cf. Logan, Pedlar's Pack (1869), 365. The 2 editions of the poem reflect the original and the emendations in Kinloch's MS. Burlesque and Jocular Ballads and Songs (1827-9) at Harvard [no. 2524.12], p. 193, collected from John Meikle, Lesmahagow (begins "My mither mend't my auld breiks").
    Words to the air: ""Robin Tamson's Smiddy"; "The Beadle and the Sexton"; "My Mother Sent me to the Well" (Freeland); and to a variant, "The Forfar Sodger". A variant sung to "The Trooper and the Maid"; in Moffat & Kidson British Nursery Rhymes, set to "There was a Man in Thessaly".
