Close the alehouse door. Burns and Highland Mary..
[Leeds] : [J. O. Bebbington], printer, 31, Oldham Road, Manchester. Sold by J. Beaumont, 176, York Street, Leeds,
[1860?]
Broadside with two ballads printed in two separate columns.
The second broadside "Burns and Highland Mary" is not the song with this title "O! Highland Mary" composed by Robert Burns in 1792 or any of the other two songs associated with his brief relationship with Mary Campbell in 1786, but appears to be a later, anonymous composition which helped created the myth of Burns and his Highland muse.
Date of publication taken from similar examples with this imprint in the Bodleian ballads catalogue; the printer, whose name is omitted on the broadside, is J. O. Bebbington of Manchester.
