'''BONNIE LASS O' BEKKAHILL, DA'''. AKA - "Da Boannie Lass O Bekkahill." Shetland, Reel. Shetland, West side. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. A traditional slow reel from the West side of the Shetlands, note Anderson & Georgeson, who give these words set to the tune:
<!-- REPLACE THE ABC CODE BETWEEN THE <PRE> </PRE> TAGS -->
<blockquote>
<!-- NO NEEDS TO PUT THE PERCENTAGE SIGN. THERE IS ALREADY A SPACE BETWEEN THE <PRE> TAG AND THE X:0 TO CIRCUMVENT THE ABC PLUGIN ERROR -->
''If I had anidder sixpence''<br>
''I wid buy anidder gill''<br>
''I wid aks da fiddler ta play''<br>
''Da Boannie Lass o Bekkahill.''
</blockquote>
Cooke (1986) prints a similar text to this dance tune, which he remarks was in oral tradition in the Shetlands in the 1970's:
<blockquote>
''If I had another tuppence I would buy another gill''<br>
''I would let the fiddler play the boanie lass o' Bekkahill.''
</blockquote>
Similar words and a version of the tune can be found in many folk-song collections as "The Bonnie Lads of Byker Hill" or "Byker Hill," whose refrain goes:
<blockquote>
''Byker Hill and Walker Shore''<br>
''Collier lads for ever-more'' (x2)
</blockquote>
''Source for notated version'': fiddler Peter Fraser (Shetland) [Anderson & Georgeson]. Fraser was a founding member (along with Anderson and Georgeson) of the Shetland Folk Lore Society, founded in May, 1945.
