Back to He Piped so Sweet
HE PIPED SO SWEET. Scottish, Jig. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Composed by English songwriter and composer James Hook [1] (1746-1827). The song begins:
When rival lads and lasses gay,
Proclaimed the birth of rosy May,
When round the Maypole on the green,
The rustic dancers all were seen,
'Twas there young Jockey met my view,
His like before I never knew,
He piped so sweet and danced so gay,
Alas! He danced my heart away.
Chorus:
He piped so sweet, he piped so sweet,
He piped so sweet and danced so gay,
Alas, he stole my heart away,
Alas, he stole my heart away.
Moffat notes: "A Vauxhall song sung by a singer named Mrs. Iliff about the season of 1788. The melody is by James Hook, and his pretty little passage for the pipe towards the end of the song has been retained. Preston published the music in one of Hook's collections, and on sheet music, and the verses are in several songbooks of the period, including the New Vocal Enchantress for 1789."
