TEXAS SCHOTTISCHE. American, Schottische (4/4 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The dance Texas Schottische for Three was created during World War II, partly to compensate for the man shortage during the war. Singer and musician Johnny Horton (1925 – 1960) sang about dancing the Schottische in Texas:
Schottische in Texas when the cactus were in bloom,
You’ll be the bride and I’ll be the groom.
You’re on the right side and I’m on the left,
Don’t ever go anywhere else by my-self.
