Subject: Lyr Add: TIBBIE DUNBAR
This can be seen with its musical notation in The Scots Musical Museum, Vol. 2, by James Johnson, New Edition with added material by William Stenhouse (Edinburgh and London: William Blackwood and Sons, 1853), page 216:


TIBBIE DUNBAR.
Written for this Work by Robert Burns. Tune, Johnny McGill.

O wilt thou go wi' me, sweet Tibbie Dunbar?
O wilt thou go wi' me, sweet Tibbie Dunbar?
Wilt thou ride on a horse, or be drawn in a car,
Or walk by my side, O sweet Tibbie Dunbar?
I care na thy daddie, his lands and his money.
I care na thy kin, sae high and sae lordly:
But say thou wilt hae me for better for waur,
And come in thy coatie, sweet Tibbie Dunbar!
