Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. "Welcome to your foot again (1)" is contained in musician and dancing master David Young's Drummond Castle Manuscript Part 2 (1734, No. 44), sometimes called the Duke of Perth Manuscript after its dedicatee. Young entered the tune twice in a subsequent manuscript collection, the MacFarlane Collection (c. 1740), named for his patron at the time, Walter MacFarlane of MacFarlane. In that ms. the reel can be found as "Shàill an theil do raotan agad" (No. 181, p. 231) and "Soger Lad or Anybody (A)" (Soldier Lad or Anybody (A), No. 192, p. 237). The alternate title "Stay and Take Your Breeches with You" is from the James Knox Manuscript (No. 88, f. 26).
