O BUT YE BE MERRY. AKA and see "O She's Comical," "Glen Where My Love Is (The)." Scottish, Reel. A Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Surenne): ABCDE (McGlashan). Paul Stewart Cranford writes that Edinburgh fiddler and bandleader Alexander McGlashan's "O but Ye be Merry" is a derivative of Daniel Dow's earlier "Captain McDuff (1)"[1], however, despite the "piping" character of both, it is hard to discern a clear resemblance. Cranford suggests that McGlashan added the last two strains with violinists in mind.
