Back to Lang Stay'd Away
LANG STAY'D AWAY. English, Country Dance Tune (3/4 time). England, Northumberland. C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCC. Although transcribed by Bruce & Stoke in 3/4 time, this Northumbrian tune was originally a triple hornpipe (3/2 time). Matt Seattle [1] notes that the basic melodic and rhythmic theme found in "Bob and John," "Bobbing Joan," "French Milliner," "Lang stay'd away," "Love and Whiskey" is a triple-time hornpipe with many versions found in English, Irish and Scottish repertory, although "some are possibly better described as relatives as they differ by varying degrees." The first strain is also reminiscent of "Cam' Ye Ower Frae France/Come Ye Ower Frae France."
