YARMOUTH LASSES. AKA and see Wearmouth Lasses." English, Jig and Country Dance Tune (6/8 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. A popular 19th century jig from the north of England, in both fiddle and pipe repertory. James Merryweather and Matt Seattle (1994) point out that the name 'Yarmouth' is a misreading of the old spelling 'W(e)armouth'. The “Yarmouth Hornpipe” appears in several 19th century English musicians’ music manuscripts under alternate spellings.
