SHEPHERD'S HORNPIPE. AKA and see “Cairding O't (The),” “Salt Fish and Dumplings.” Scottish, Hornpipe (whole time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The melody is also the vehicle for the song “Cairding O't (The)” in Johnson’s Scots Musical Museum (No. 437, c. 1796), words by Robert Burns. The antiquarian Stenhouse said the air Burns used was “a lively old Scotch measure, called ‘Salt Fish and Dumplings’.”
