Recorded by Nathaniel Gow in his Vocal Melodies of Scotland, c.1816. Mary Oswald (see illustration) was an amateur musician and wife to Richard Oswald of the Auchincruive estate, Ayrshire; she had no familial connection to composer James Oswald. Her funeral cortege dispossessed Robert Burns of his accommodation on a stormy night, prompting a published poem attacking the "quondam Mrs Oswald".
