YORKSHIRE LASSES [1]. AKA and see "Rollicking Irishman (The)," "Top of Cork Road (1)," "Cork Road," "Father O'Flynn," "To Drink With the Devil," "Trample Our Enemies," "Bonny Green Garters (1)," "Irish Lilt (The)." English, Jig. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Despite the numerous Irish alternate titles (and perhaps Irish provenance), the tune seems to have first been printed in English collections, under the given title, above. Moffat and Kidson located the tune in collections of 1779 and 1781, while the first Irish printing seems to have been in 1798. The earliest printing of "Yorkshire Lasses" is in Longman, Lukey and Broderip's Bride's Favourite Collection of 200 Select Country Dances, Cotillons (London, 1776), followed by Thomas Skillern's Skillern's Compleat Collection of Two Hundred & Four Reels...Country Dances (London, 1780). Longman and Broderip's Compleat Collection of 200 Favorite Country Dances, Cotillions and Allemands, vol. 2 (p. 84) printed in London in 1781 appears to be one of their sources, but in that publication "Father O'Flynn" is given as an alternate title. Nevertheless, ascriptions to Irish origins persist.
