Two examples given of verses used to remind folk of the tune "The Barren Rocks of Aden".
Many other tunes had verses for the same purpose.
I"ll wager Jim can give the tune for the following verse:---

O mah bonnie wee, bonnie wee, Mary Mackie
She"s the lassie I"ll loe till the day that I die
Wi a bile on her back and a sty in her eye
She"s ma bonnie wee, bonnie wee, Mary Mackie.
