GUEST,Liam's Brother	Lyr Req: Tibbie Dunbar (Robert Burns, Jim McLean) (47)	RE: Lyr Req: TIBBIE DUNBAR	12 Nov 00
As Abby stated above, Burns wrote only the first verse. I first heard the song about 26 or 27 years ago at a concert in Cambridge, MA presented by Peter Johnson. Declan Hunt was the singer. I believe this would have predated recordings by The Dubliners, for example. I put the song in my collection, A Bonnie Bunch of Roses, because its a great song but particularly because of the extra verse. The air is "Johnnie McGill," said to be, as I recall, the composition of a fiddler by that name from Burns' native Ayrshire. I recorded the song in 1976 with a group named The Flying Cloud. All the best, Dan Milner
