WEARMOUTH LASSES. AKA and see "Yarmouth Lasses." English, Country Dance Tune (6/8 time). England, Yorkshire. A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune appears in several English musicians’ manuscript collections of the 19th century as both "Wearmouth-" and "Yarmouth Lasses," including John Moore (Tyneside, 1841), Laurence Leadley (see below), the Browne family manuscripts (Troutbeck, Cumbria), and William Hall Lister (East Boldon, near Newcastle, mid-19thc.). Wearmouth--mouth of the River Wear--is in north-east England. As the eighteenth century progressed the name 'Sunderland' increasingly replaced the more general term 'Wearmouth' which had been used for the whole area including the port. The alternate title 'Yarmouth' is probably a miss-hearing of 'Wearmouth.'
