Re: tune name?

There is a different (Scottish) tune in the Macfarlan MS of 1740 called "I canno' win at her for her big Belly", which makes a bit more sense as a title. Maybe there was a common set of words now lost to history?

I think I've heard this one from an 18th century Scottish source too.

What's wrong with 'I Ne'er Shall Wean Her' - have you never heard of breastfeeding, Jack??
