SAIL HER OWER DA RAFT TREES. AKA and see "Sailor Ower da Raft Trees." Shetland, Shetland Reel. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. A traditional reel which Anderson (1970) notes is a "different version from the one played by the Shetland Fiddlers Society." The reel has some age, for researcher Peter Cooke found reference to it in an account dating to 1886 of a fiddler taking his 'throne' at a wedding[1]:
Dan da fluir wis cleared, in cam' Jermy Tarl wi' his posh [i.e. a 'kit', or slender fiddle] an climmed up ipun a aald hyist o' Hendry's 'at wis standin' i' da coarner. He took aff his jacket and hung ipo da back o' da shair 'at we wir pitten up ipo da kyist fur him ta sit on. Dan he set him doon, screwed his pins, an' brook inta 'Da sailor ower da roff tree' lack horra! Faith, he cud wiggle his elbie, n een i' do hael perrishin cud come near him. 'Juist gie him a dram o' da best; pit some o' da young eens ipo da fluir for a rael aald Shetlan' reel, an' dan wait you.
