Thread Name: Tune Req: Burns' Farewell
Subject: RE: Burns' Farewell as a song air?
The meoldy posted in Mick's second last posting under The Masons' Adieu was also used for Ye Banks and Braes o' Bonnie Doon. Goodnight and Joy Be Wi' You A' is the same as that used for The Parting Glass and found in Johnson's SMM, last song (#600) as was the paractice in those days. The two melodies posted by Tootler are variations of this melody (different of course from Banks and Braes).
