'Duncan Gray'
This song was written for Thomson's Scottish Airs and appeared in 1798. Burns called it 'that kind of light-horse gallop of an old air which precludes sentiment. The ludicrous is the leading feature.' The tune is in the Caledonian Pocket Companion 1751. It appeared in the Scots Musical Museum, 1788 to an older version of the words. Burns wrote a version of his song for the Merry Muses, 'Can ye play me, Duncan Gray?'
