TAILOR'S WIFE, THE (A bhean a bh'aig an tàiller chaol). AKA - "Skinny Tailor's Wife (The)." AKA and see "Lady Madelina Sinclair (1)." Scottish, Strathspey (whole time). A Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. A pipe tune, as Glasgow piper, pipe teacher and pipe-maker William Gunn printed it in his Caledonian Repository of Music Adapted for the Bagpipes (1848) set it. The tune is the same as the strathspey "Lady Madelina Sinclair (1)", printed by the Gows in 1792, but Gunn's title is from a Scottish puirt a beul (mouth music) song, with words that are bawdy in parts. The Gaelic title translates as "The skinny tailor's wife."
Lyrics begin:
A' bhean a bh'aig an tàillear chaol, thug an taog an ceann dith;
A' bhean a bh'aig an tàillear chaol, thug an taog an ceann dith;
A' bhean a bh'aig an tàillear chaol, thug an taog an ceann dith,
Thug an taog na casan agus thug an cat an ceann dith.
A' bhean a bh'aig an tàillear chaol, thug an taog an ceann dith,
Thug an taog na casan agus thug an cat an ceann dith.
