“ Go to Berwick, Johnnie.
[The old tune of "Go to Berwick, Johnnie," is usually sung to a nursery doggrel, beginning,
Go, go, go,
Go to Berwick, Johnnie;
Thou shalt have the horse,
And I shall have the poney.
The following verses are from Johnson's Museum, and are said to have been partly written by John Hamilton, music-seller, Edinburgh.] ”
