317) BESSY AND HER SPINNING WHEEL Described laconically in the DT file as "Scots", this is actually another one from Burns, written in c.1792. Midi made from the notation in Burns: Poems and Songs (James Kinsley, OUP, 1969).
542) CA HAWKIE This file actually contains one Scottish text and one English; the latter is from Bruce and Stokoe's Northumbrian Mistrelsy (1882); midi made from the notation in that book. For convenience, I have slightly modified bar12; the 5th and sixth notes are given as an eighth note and a dotted sixteenth, which leaves a one-thirtysecond rest -not specified in the music- somewhere in the bar. I have changed these to a dotted eighth and one sixteenth, which fits nicely. For some reason, two stanzas are omitted in the DT file (though their omission is noted); they belong between the second and third stanzas as given, thus:
Hawkie is a pretty cow,
All the children do adore her,
For she gives them all the milk,
There is none they prize before her.
Girls be not too nice or coy,
If your sweetheart wants to marry,
Ne'er say nay, but quickly comply,
As 'tis hazardous to tarry.
