Back to Clydesdale Lasses
CLYDESDALE LASSES. AKA - "Clydesdale Lassies." Scottish, Reel or Country Dance. F Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Surenne): AAB (Kerr, MacDonald, Stewart-Robertson). Another tune in honor of some Scottish local girls (like "Lothian Lasses," "Ayrshire Lasses," "Lasses of Duns," "Lasses of Stewarton," etc.), published by Nathaniel Gow in 1822. In ancient times the River Clyde marked the frontier of the old Celtic British kingdom in the north with the Picts. The name Clyde comes from the Brittonic Cluth. MacDonald says the melody can be played as a reel or a strathspey. See also related Irish versions under titles "Humors of Westport (The)," "Bill Clancy's Delight" "Pretty Peggy (5)" and "Milestone at the Garden/Milestone in the Garden (The)." Other Scottish versions can be found under the title "Clydeside Lassies."
