As I was walkin\u2019 doon yon hill, O but she was neatly dressed,
\nIt was on a summer\u2019s evening, She neither needed hat nor feather,
\nT\u2019was there I met a bonnie lass, She was a queen amang them a\u2019,
\nSkippin\u2019 barfit throw the heather. Skippin\u2019 barfit throw the heather.<\/p>\n

\u201cSkippin\u2019 Barfit Thro\u2019 the Heather\u201d, traditional Scottish folk song<\/p>\n

While the traditional song tune is not a jig, I thought that jig tempo better suited my image of
