LASSES PISSES BRANDY. AKA and see "Bonny Geordie," "Lasses Bushes Brawly," "Lick the Ladle," "Lasses Like Nae Brandy," "Lasses Likes Nae Brandy," "Lasses Drinks at Brandy." Scottish, English; Reel. England, Northumberland. A Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. "According to David Johnson (1984), it was probably Robert Mackintosh who, in 1772, gave this tune its usual title 'Lasses Like(s) Nae Brandy,' altering it from 'Lasses Drinks at Brandy,' which was his source. Vickers' even less polite title is not mentioned, but Johnson cites other 'rude' tune titles which have fallen victim to changing standards of propriety" (Seattle).

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

Printed sources: Kerr (Merry Melodies), vol. 2; No. 20. MacDonald (The Skye Collection), 1887; p. 21. Seattle (Great Northern/William Vickers), 1987, Part 2; No. 370.
