'Plaidy' is a plaid garment that was used as a blanket. The lyrics for this song were written by Hector MacNeill (1746-1818), and concern the appeal that worldly goods have for certain women who, upon receiving an offer of marriage, are not unduly worried by the age of a suitor as long as he is wealthy.
