BRAW (BRAVE) LADS OF JEDBURGH, THE. AKA - "Braw Lads of Jeddart," "Braw Lads of Jethart." AKA and see "Bob of Fettercairn (The)," "Come Kiss With Me Come Clap With Me," "Had I the Wight," "I'll Kiss the Lass She Bad Me," "Kail and Knockit Corn" (Shetland), "Mrs. Reneau's Reel" (Canada), "Newburn Lads." English/Scottish, Reel. England, Northumberland. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Jedburgh is a city in the Borders region of Scotland. It was formerly a cloth manufacturing center, and once featured a famous abbey. The title appears to be a fairly recent attachment to a tune that has some antiquity, and is one that is associated with the piping tradition. A couplet printed by Robert Chambers (Popular Rhymes of Scotland, 1870) goes:

Ye'll be kissed and I'll be kissed,
We'll a' be kissed the morn;
The braw lads o' Jethart
Will kiss us a' the morn.
