TRIPPERS, THE. AKA and see "It is My Lame Leg that I Left Behind," "Lame Foot (The)," "Lame Leg (The)," "My lame leg has kept me behind." Scottish, Pipe Jig (6/8 time). A Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB (Kerr): AABBCC (Shears). Also called “My Lame Foot” or "Lame Foot (The)" in some 19th century collections. Jane Morison prints it as a march called “'Se mo chas chrùbach” (My lame leg has kept me behind). Another tune by the same name, in three-parts, is in circulation in Cape Breton that retains only the second part of the jig printed in Kerr’s. "Larach Alasdair" and "Old Wife of the Mill Dust (The)" are often represented as a member of this tune family and are harmonically and structurally similar, yet those related tunes have enough melodic differences to warrant separation. They were perhaps derived from a common ancestor.
