LANG STAY'D AWAY. English, Country Dance Tune (3/4 time). England, Northumberland. C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCC. This Northumbrian tune was probably originally a triple hornpipe (3/2 time). The first strain is reminiscent to "Cam' Ye Ower Frae France/Come Ye Ower Frae France", and "Bobbin John/Bob and John/Bobbing Joan" may also be a related tune.
