This sparky strathspey or schottische tune has been popular throughout Scotland for over 200 years. Its Gaelic title, Brochan Lom, means thin porridge. It was played for the East Lothian country dance called Orange and Blue.

Various small verses are sung to this tune, including Brochan Lom.

Broken down, broken down, broken down in Beauly
Broken down, broken down, broken down in Beauly
Broken down, broken down, broken down in Beauly
Tow me back, tow me back, tow me back to Dingwall.

Jock White, Jock White, far'd ye get the bairn
Jock White, Jock White, far'd ye get the bairn
Jock White, Jock White, far'd ye get the bairn
I got it fae a tinkler wifie comin fae the Nairn.
