MUSIC O' SPEY, THE. Scottish, Slow Air (4/4 time). C Major (Skinner/Hirn): A Major (Bain, Hunter, Skinner/Violinist). Standard tuning (fiddle). One Part (Skinner): AB (Hunter): AABB (Bain). Composed by the famed Aberdeenshire fiddler-composer and dancing master wikipedia:James_Scott_Skinner (1848-1927).
Words were written to the tune by R. Grant of Peterhead, known as 'The Bard of Ugie', and appear in the front of Skinner's Miller o' Hirn Collection (1881). They begin:
I sing o' the Spey, the bonnie, bonnie Spey,
Whar the primrose grows so early,
An' ilka mile o' the bonnie Hielan' stream
Can shew you some rare fairlie.
O dearly I lo'e the grand auld Spey,
And its music aye sae cheerie,
Whan I hear the sound' o' my aid dear stream;
I ne'er feel dow nor weary.
