FOREST, THE. AKA and see "Duchess of Hamilton's Delight," "Larry Redican's Jig (1)," "Legacy (2) (The)," "Skiver the Quilt (1)," "Tailor's Wedding (The)." Scottish, Jig (6/8 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB'. Gow labels the tune as "Irish." There seems to be quite a bit of cross-influence between Scottish and Irish settings: Niel Gow printed the tune as "Forest (The)" with the alternate title "Duchess of Hamilton's Delight" and identified its provenance as "Irish". Francis O'Neill included the tune in his Music of Ireland (1903) using the same title as Gunn, "The Tailor's Wedding." A Scottish port-a-beul (mouth music) melody, "Fosgail an dorus" (Open the door) is cognate in the first strain.

Fosgail an dorus dh'an tailleir fhidhleir
Fosgail an dorus dh'an fhidhleir thailleir
Fosgail an dorus dh'an tailleir fhidhleir
Cliamhain a' righ fidhleir tailleir

Translation:

Open the door for the fiddling tailor
Open the door for the tailoring fiddler
Open the door for the fiddling tailor
The King's son-in-law is the tailoring fiddler.
