Back to Lowrie Tarrel
LOWRIE TARREL. AKA - "Lowrie Tarrell." Shetlands, Reel. The tune is a variant of "Mason's Apron (The)," and known throughout the Shetland islands. Cooke (The Fiddle Tradition of the Shetland Isles, 1986, p. 143) gives the following text to the dance tune, collected in the Shetlands:
O pirrie Lowrie, muckle Lowrie,
Babbit Lowrie Tarrel
The sheep's heid is in the pot
And du sall get the sparrel.
While Shetland fiddler, collector, and teacher Tom Anderson gives:
Peerie Lowrie, silly Lowrie,
Drunken Lowrie Tarrell;
When we kill wir grice ... (pig)
Du sall get da sparrell. ... (rectum or intestines)
