I should have the Gale book in my hands tomorrow. Will report what I find.

Gibb, nice finds for "Fine Time of Day" and especially "Bottle-O."

I was thinking about "Highland Laddie" as used so relatively early as ashanty. I wonder if part of its appeal came from the question in the original Jacobite version, "Where have you been all the day?" Conceivably this song was the inspiration for the pattern, "Were you ever in X ?"
