OLD MAN WOULDN'T GIVE ME STRAW, THE. Scottish, Canadian; Pipe Reel. Canada, Cape Breton. A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The puirt-a-beul (mouth music) words begin:

Dhiult am bodach fodar dhomh,
'S gun dhiult am bodach feur dhomh;
Dhiult am bodach fodar dhomh.
Chuirinn fo mo shliosaid.

The old man refused me straw,
The old man refused me hay;
The old man refused me straw,
To put under my thigh.
