LASSES GAR YOUR TAILS TODDLE. AKA and see "Tail Todle," "Tail Toddle." Scottish, Reel. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). ABB. The original title was the bawdy "Lasses gar your Tails Todle, Spread your houghs lat in the Dodle, that will gar your Tails Todle." Johnson (1983) believes the tune may have partly followed 'passamezzo moderno' form (a 16th century Italian musical form popular in England and Scotland later in that century). It appears in the McLean Collection published by James Johnson in Edinburgh in 1772.
Source for notated version: George Skene MS., 1717-c. 1740 [Johnson].
Printed sources: Johnson (Scottish Fiddle Music in the 18th Century), 1984; No. 11, p. 27.
