'''KENNET'S DREAM'''. Scottish, Air (3/4 time). AEac# tuning (fiddle). AABB. The melody appears in James Oswald's (1710-1796) Caledonian Pocket Companion (vol. 10, 1760, p. 20), printed in the key of 'C' as a slow air with variations (including a jig-time setting). Oswald was a composer and publisher of music, and a dancing master, much influenced by Continental music. A variant of the air is called "[[Old Head of Denis (The)]]," printed in O'Neill's '''Music of Ireland''' (1903). In fact, variants are numerous and many. "Kennet's Dream" has been identified by Cazden, Haufrecht & Studer  ('''Folk Songs of the Catskills''', 1982) as an ancestral tune to a number of folk-song airs in Britain and Ireland, and in North America, calling it "among the most widespread in the Anglo-American tradition." . In the authors' entry on the song "Rock Island Line" they discuss the numerous variants that include Thomas Moore's "The Meeting of the Waters", Child's "Lord Randall" (12), and even the cowboy song "Dreary Black Hills." They write (p. 350):
