LANGO LEE [1]. AKA - "Langolee." Scottish, English, Irish; Slow Jig or Air. England, Northumberland. A Mixolydian (Gow): D Major (Winstock). Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. See note for "Lango Lee (2)" for explanation of the term. Despite Gow's assertion that this was the "original" tune for "Lango Lee," the popular and widespread tune known by that title is "Lango Lee (2)." However, it appears as though Gow is correct, for his version, which appears in James Oswald's Caledonian Pocket Companion(vol. 9, p. 8, 1760) predates other tunes by this name in print.

Source for notated version: Carlin (The Gow Collection), 1986; No. 345. Gow (Complete Repository), Part 3, 1806; p. 13. Winstock (Music of the Redcoats), 1970; p. 78 (appears as "Volunteers of Ireland").
