The Modern Scottish Minstrel, Volume 1

Note 52 — CAROLINA, BARONESS NAIRN.

Reading edition

The author seems to have composed these stanzas as a sequel to a wooing song of the same name, beginning, "Robin is my only jo," which first appeared in Herd's Collection in 1776. There are some older words to the same air, but these are coarse, and are not to be found in any of the modern Collections.
