ABC Notation and Properties


CLAW HER WEAM. English, Reel. England, Northumberland. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Matt Seattle (1987) explains that, while William Vickers' music manuscript contents lists "Claw hir Weam" (which means roughly 'tickle her tummy' or 'stroke her belly'), the title that was printed on the page with the music is the incomprehensible "Clap hir Warm they." However it may mean "Clap Her Warm Thigh."

Source for notated version: William Vickers' music manuscript collection (Northumberland, 1770) [1].

Printed source: Seattle (Great Northern/William Vickers), 1987, Part 3; No. 437.
