LADY LIE NEAR ME. AKA - "Green Garter (1)." English, Country Dance Tune (3/4 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. The air is published in John Playford's English Dancing Master [1] (1651, p. 92), however, the original song that the dance tune is based on is not known. Playford retained the tune under this title in the long-running Dancing Master series, through the eighth edition of 1690.
