BLUE EYED LASSIE. AKA and see "Belles of Lewiston," "Early Rising." Scottish, Reel. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB (Gatherer): AABB (Cole). Robert Burns wrote a song for a tune by this name, the melody composed by a neighbor and friend, Robert Riddel of Glenriddel. Emmerson (1971) declares, "it is not disputed that Riddell had no great musical gifts." See also French-Canadian versions under titles "Réel Américain " (Joseph Allard). Two reels identified by folklorist Camelle Begin as "Blue eyed Lassie ou l'Amercan et l'Ecossais" were in the repertoire of Montreal fiddler Jean Carignan.

Printed sources: Begin (La Musique Traditionelle Pour Violon: Jean Carignan). Cole (1000 Fiddle Tunes), 1940; p. 7. Gatherer (Gatherer's Musical Museum), 1987; p. 5. Ryan's Mammoth Collection, 1883; p. 30.
