A Red Red Rose

"A Red, Red Rose" is a 1794 Scottish song written by Robert Burns and is also often titled "My Love is Like A Red, Red Rose". It was said that he wrote they lyrics down when he heard a young country girl singing the tune.

During the final ten years of Burns' life he worked on projects to preserve traditional Scottish songs for posterity, and in fact managed to preserve over 300 songs during this period, which included this song as well as the well-known Auld Lang Syne. Burns gave the lyrics to Scots singer Pietro Urbani who published it in his Scots Songs book.

In his book, Urbani claimed ...the words of The Red Red Rose were obligingly given to him by a celebrated Scots poet, who was so struck by them when sung by a country girl that he wrote them down and, not being pleased with the air, begged the author to set them to music in the style of a Scots tune, which he has done accordingly.
