Back to My Lady's Goon Has Gairs Upon It

MY LADY'S GOON HAS GAIRS ON'T. Scottish, Strathspey. C Major (Cole): F Major (Howe). Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. Goon=gown. A goonie is a nightie. Gairs means pleats, as in pleated sleeves, which were sometimes accented with a different material or color than the dress. The Irish "Murphy's Reel (3)" has some melodic similarities in the first several bars.
