LASSES/LASSIES OF THE FERRY. AKA and see "Hoch Hey Johnnie Lad," "Hech How Johnnie Lad," "Lads of Saltcoats (The)." Scottish, Reel (cut time). A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). John Glen (1891) finds the tune in Neil Stewart's 1761 Collection of the Newest and Best Reels or Country Dances (p. 33). It was later known as "Hech How Johnnie Lad", from poet Robert Burns' setting of that famous lyric to the earlier melody "Lasses of the Ferry." See also note for "Auld Lang Syne."
