O’ER THE MOOR AMANG THE HEATHER.
This song is the composition of a Jean Glover, a girl who was not only a whore, but also a thief; and in one or other character has visited most of the Correction Houses in the West. She was born I believe in Kilmarnock,—I took the song down from her singing, as she was strolling through the country, with a sleight-of-hand blackguard.
TO THE ROSE-BUD.
This song is the composition of a —— Johnson, a joiner in the neighbourhood of Belfast. The tune is by Oswald, altered, evidently, from “Jockie’s Gray Breeks.”
YON WILD MOSSY MOUNTAINS.
This tune is by Oswald. The song alludes to a part of my private history, which it is of no consequence to the world to know.
