Abstract
A collection of Scottish ballads on a variety of themes and topics, including: a toast in memory of years past; a Jacobian lament for Bonnie Prince Charlie; a humorous misogynistic portrayal of wives as both the best part of marriage and the worst; a drinking song; a song about the marriage of an Irish farmer and his wife and the lives they have made for themselves; a love song to a bonnie lassie from a soldier who is departing; and a song about a girl who wishes she could be a “dashing white sergeant” in an “army of amazons” if there was such a thing.
