Dance Information
The title of this dance, My Mither's Aye Glow'rin' Owre Me, comes from My Mither's Aye Glow'rin' Owre Me - Song written by Allan Ramsay (1986-1758) published in The Tea-Table Miscellany, 1724.My mither's aye glow'rin' owre me,
Though she did the same before me;
I can - na get leave
To look at my love,
Or else she'd be like to de - vour me.
"My Mither's Aye Glow'rin' Owre Me" is Scots for "my mother is glowering over me".
