LOUDON'S/LOUDEN'S BONNY WOODS (AND BRAES). AKA and see "The Bundoran Highland," "Lord Moira('s Welcome)," "The Earl of Moira's Welcome to Scotland," "The Marquis of Hastings' Strathspey." Scottish; Strathspey or Highland Schottische. G Major (Kennedy, Kerr, Raven): D Major (Martin, Neil). Standard. One part (Neil): AB (Kerr): AABB (Martin): AABB' (Kennedy, Raven). The title comes from Tannahill's work, however, the tune was originally "The Earl of Moira's Welcome to Scotland" by Duncan MacIntyre, a Scots dancing master in London at the end of the 18th century. Little is known of him, save that the later spent some years in India, presumably at the same time as Earl Moira (who was Governor-General there in 1816), to whom the tune is dedicated. Robert Tannahill's (1774-1810) words go:
***
O, resume thy wanted smile.
O, supress thy fears, lassie,
Glorious honour crowns the toil,
That the soldier shares lassie.
Heaven will shield thy faithful lover,
Till the vengeful strife is over;
Then we'll meet nae mair to sever,
Till the day we dee, lassie.
'Midst our bonnie woods and braes
We'll spend our peaceful, happy days,
As blythe yon lightsome lamb that plays
On Loudon's flow'ry lea, lassie.
***
"They are thought to commemorate the parting of the Earl of Moira from his young wife, the Countess of Loudon, on his departure on foreign service" (Neil, 1991). Along with "Jenny's Bawbee" and "Niel Gow's Wife" this tune is part of the medley played by County Donegal fiddler Danny O'Donnell as "The Shamrock and Thistle Highlands."

OLD AUNT KATIE [2]. AKA and see "Cluck Old Hen" (Pa. floating title). Old-Time, Breakdown. USA, southwestern Pa. G Major. Standard. AB. The given title as well as the alternate appear to be floating titles. The tune is Scottish in origin, according to Bayard (1981), with a number of titles including "The Marquis of Hastings' Strathspey," "Louden's Bonnie Woods and Braes," "Lord Moira's Welcome," and "Lord Moira." Two lyrics are associated with the tune in Pennsylvania:
***
Old Aunt Katie, good enough for anybody,
Old Aunt Katie, good enough at all;
Old Aunt Katie, good enough for anybody,
Take 'er in her old clothes, or don't take her at all.
And:
Cluck old hen, cluck right along;
Cluck old hen, till your chickens rolls on;
Cluck old hen, and I don't give a damn--
I can git a woman if you can git a man. (Bayard)
***
