COME UNDER MY PLADDIE. AKA - "Come Under my Plaidie." AKA and see "Before I Was Married (2)," "Billy O'Rourke's Jig (1)," "Black Joke (2) (The)," "Black Rogue (1)," "Johnny McGill/Johnnie MacGill," "My Silly Auld Man," "Paddy O'Rourke's," "Rogaire Dubh (An)," "Tibbie Dunbar." Scottish, Jig (6/8 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Kerr): AABB (Cole, Harding, Johnson, O'Neill, Perlman, Robbins, Sweet). The title comes from a song by Hector Macneil of Roslin, Midlothian, from the 18th or early 19th century, and set to the tune "Johnny McGill." The air is properly a Scotch jig (a jig with Scotch measure accents) and was first published in 1778 (according to Glen). Burns also set his lyric Tibbie Dunbar ("O Wilth thou go wi' me, sweet Tibbie Dunbar") to this air. See Bayard's (1981) note to "Johnny MacGill" for further discussion and sources.
