C Major (Hughes, Winder): G Major (most modern versions). Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB (Raven): AABB. A popular march or polka in Scotland and the north of England (where it is considered a Rant), the melody is sometimes attributed to renowned but unfortunate Northumbrian piper biography:Jamie Allen. "Salmon Tails up the Water" is used to accompany either a polka or a single step dance in the North-West (England) morris dance tradition. The title “Salmon Tails Ges up the Water” was given as an alternate title for the strathspey “Yeil Yeil” in Dunkeld, Perthshire, fiddler-composer Niel Gow’s first collection (c. 1786), but the strathspey seems to be a different tune than the "Salmon Tails" in this entry.
