GUEST,Miranda	Aunty Mary Had a Canary - where? (100* d)	RE: Aunty Mary Had a Canary - where?	05 Feb 19
I read that this version is from the Boer war, but which Boer war I don't know. The Auntie Mary thing is clearly older however. As far as I know, the earliest version is called "The Cock of the North", which is named after a tradition of calling the chief of the Scottish Gordon clan the same thing. It started with Alexander, Duke of Gordon (can't remember which Duke). Sae gie tae me the lad you'll see from Russia to the Forth, The lilt in his voice and the swing o' his kilt, man that's the Cock o' the North!
