An excerpt from the Preface: These Vagabond Pieces - poor as poetry often admittedly - I esteem of no small value. As a species of folk-lore, even the rudest of them are eminently deserving of rescue. Some are dear to us as "sangs our mithers sang." All for one reason or another - but chiefly for the joy they have given to Scottish rural life- are particularly interesting. My long-cherished conviction that they were wanted in budget form - though I collected originally for my own satisfaction alone.... Many songs and ballads are here, to be sure, which in the strictest sense may not be claimed as vagabonds. Their character, nevertheless, has brought them into the same company; they have lived the vagabond life with the homeless and rapidly-disappearing wanderers for which it is our avowed object to provide permanent housing; and having been found with these, so they are maintained with them in boon companionship - some later pieces being added. All, with their appended notes - and here and there the original airs, not less vagabond than the songs themselves - it is hoped, will find ready and agreeable acceptance. Among the rarer ditties embraced (each with its original melody), will be found "The Bonnet o' Blue," "Bonnie Jeanie Cameron," "A Lassie Lives by yonder Burn," "Jean and Caledonia," "Brannan on the Moor," "The Heights of Alma," "The Gallant Hussar," "A-Begging we will Go," "When John's Ale was New," "The Jolly Ploughboy," "The Banks o' Claudy," and "The Feeing Time," not to mention others equally representative of the class which will be readily recognised as old time favourites. Well, so much for that. Now, in a word, I thank the numerous correspondents - north, east, south, and west - for their esteemed assistance, by fishing out and sending at my request, copies of oral songs for comparison, each as he found them lingering in his district. Very specially I acknowledge my indebtedness to the late Mr. Craibe Angus, so well known in art circles in Glasgow and the West of Scotland, and to Mr. George Gray, the respected town-clerk of Rutherglen, who freely submitted for perusal, to aid in the work, each his very extensive and valuable collection of Scottish Song Chapbooks. To Mr. D. Kippen, Crieff, I am again under pleasing obligation for a number of the more characteristic and hitherto unrecorded melodies. Thanks are due, and gratefully tendered also, to Mr. George Taggart, Glasgow, for his painstaking and esteemed revision of some of the airs.

In 1832 the Scottish ballad collector Peter Buchan of Peterhead, Aberdeenshire, presented an anthology of risqué‚ and convivial songs and ballads to a Highland laird. When Professor Francis James Child of Harvard was preparing his magisterial edition of The English and Scottish Popular Ballads, he made inquiries about it, but it was not made available in time to be considered for his work. On his death it was presented to the Child Memorial Library at Harvard. Because of its unseemly materials, the manuscript languished there since, unprinted, though referred to now and again, and a few items from time to time made an appearance. The manuscript has now been transcribed with full annotation and with an introduction on the compiler, his times, and the Scottish bawdy tradition. It contains the texts (without tunes) of seventy-six bawdy songs and ballads, along with a long-lost scatological poem attributed to the Edinburgh writer James “Balloon” Tytler. Appendices give details of Buchan's two published collections of ballads. Additionally, there is a list of tale types and motifs, a glossary of Scots and archaic words, a bibliography, and an index. The High-Kilted Muse brings to light a long-suppressed volume and fills in a great gap in published bawdy songs and ballads.

Tristram Potter Coffin's The British Traditional Ballad in North America, published in 1950, became recognized as the standard reference to the published material on the Child ballad in North America. Centering on the theme of story variation, the book examines ballad variation in general, treats the development of the traditional ballad into an art form, and provides a bibliographical guide to story variation as well as a general bibliography of titles referred to in the guide. Roger deV. Renwick's supplement to The British Traditional Ballad in North America provides a thorough review of all sources of North American ballad materials published from 1963, the date of the last revision of the original volume, to 1977. The references, which include published text fragments and published title lists of items in archival collections, are arranged according to each ballad's story variations. Textual and thematic comparisons among ballads in the British and American tradition are made throughout. In his introductory essay Renwick synthesizes the various theoretical approaches to the phenomenon of variation that have appeared in scholarly publications since 1963 and provides examples from texts referred to in the bibliographical guide itself. The supplement, like its parent work, is an invaluable reference tool for the study of variation in ballad form, content, and style. Together with the reprinted text of the 1963 edition, the supplement provides an exhaustive bibliography to the literature on the British traditional ballad in North America.
