FIRESIDE REEL [2]. AKA and see "Peat Fire Flame." Scottish, March or Polka (cut or 2/4 time). E Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The melody is properly called "Peat Fire Flame" but is sometimes called "Fireside Reel" because it has been associated with the popular Scottish Country Dance of that latter name. "Peat Fire Flame" is the air to a song collected by Marjory Kennedy-Fraser (1857-1930), printed in her Songs of the Hebrides for Schools (1921), where it is described as "a tramping song" and as a companion to "Road to the Isles." The words are from the early 20th century, written by Kenneth MacLeod, but the tune is probably older. The first stanza goes:
Far away and o’er the moor,
Far away and o’er the moor,
Morah waits for a boat that saileth,
Far way down Lowland way;
I dream a dream I learned, lad,
By the light o’ the peat-fire flame,
Light for love, for lilt of grail deeds,
By the light o’ the peat-fire flame,
The light the hill-folk yearn for.
