LADY NELLY WEMYSS/WEMYES'S JIG. AKA and see "Jack Holmes Reel," "Lady Wemyss (1)," "Lady Nellie Wemyss," "Lady Nelly Wemyss," "Lady Nelly Wemyss's Reel," "Roving Quick Step (The)," "Stable Boys (The)," "Wait Awhile." Scottish, Jig (6/8 time). A Major/Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. John Glen (1891) finds the earliest appearance of this tune in print in Robert Bremner's 1757 collection (p. 13). Bremner's title, "Lady Nelly Wemyss's Reel", describes the dance this 6/8 tune accompanies, a title mirrored in Hunterdon County, New Jersey, fifer William Morris's c. 1776-77 music copybook where it appears as "Lady Nelley Wimsey Real." See also Francis O'Neill's version as "Wait Awhile."

"Lady Nelly Wemyss" also has enjoyed some minor currency among Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland musicians.
