FOREFIT O' DA SHIP, DA. Shetland, Reel. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Boys/Lough): AABB (Anderson & Georgeson, Cooke, Hunter, Martin, Martin & Hughes, Phillips). In the repertory of Tom Anderson's Shetland Fiddle Band, and therefore widely known in the islands. Tom Anderson (1970, 1978) states the tune is supposed to be one of the tunes composed by an unknown fiddler-whaler, inspired by the sound of the sea breaking on the bows of a sailing ship.

We hae pittin accents ida music ta tell dee whaur ta lay on da bow wi a measur o strength sae dat du can hear whaur da sea stricks da boo.
