660 Old Scotch Drinking Song
'Old Scotch Drinking Song.' Sung by Miss Jewell Robbins (Mrs. C. P.
Perdue) to this editor at her home in Gastonia, Gaston county, July 31, 1954.
Unfortunately, Mrs. Perdue could not recall any of the words, which in it-
self is a rather rare phenomenon. She told this editor that Mr. Alexander P.
Leach (father of Mrs. Perdue's brother-in-law) taught it to her when he was
eighty-five years old. His father had come from Scotland in 1812. His
brother, Archibald Leach, born in Scotland, also sang it. They were Baptist
Scotch or Primitive Baptists.
