A' The Nights o' The Year, The Chapman Drinks Nae Water

 A' THE NIGHTS O' THE YEAR, THE CHAPMAN DRINKS NAE WATER. Scottish. Composer John French (1753‑1803) had a set of this tune which so impressed the Scots national poet Robert Burns that, in 1793, he tried (via the town provost) to get copies of it (Alburger, 1983). A chapman is a beggar; to ‘chap’ a door means to knock on it.
