As I Went Ower yon High, High Hill- sung by Mrs. Lyall of Lyne of Skene, Aberdeenshire. She got her songs from her mother who learned songs from her father a singer and fiddler. Collected by Duncan about 1907, version F.

1. As I went ower yon high high hill,
I met a bonny lassie,
She looked at me and I at her
And O, but she was saucy.
CHORUS Wi' my torrin an' a', ah reedle ah,
Fal the derrin addie, wi' my torrin an' a'.
