OLD MAID OF THE MILL DUST, THE. AKA and see "Larach Alasdair." Scottish, Pipe Jig (6/8 time). A Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCCDDEFFGGHH. "Cailleach an dudain," "Lame Foot (The)," "My lame leg has kept me behind" and "Trippers" are often given as cognate melodies. While harmonically and structurally similar there are enough melodic differences to suggest they are distinct tunes, or perhaps different branches of an ancestral melody.
