Lighter	Origin: All for Me Grog (80* d)	RE: Origin: All for Me Grog	22 Sep 23
Thanks, Steve. The song appears a year earlier than Ramsey in "The Charmer: A Choice Collection of Songs, Scots and English," Second ed. (Edinburgh: J. Yair, 1752). There the folderols seems to occupy only the entire second half of the final stanza - which leads me to think the untitled piece came from the stage, where a costumed singer could dance around while lilting them. Scott liked the song so much he put two laundered stanzas into "Woodstock" (1826).
