John Nolan | Lyr/Tune Add: Drops of Brandy (19) | RE: Tune & Lyr Add: Drops of Brandy | 11 Nov 99 |
In the harvest season, up until the early 1960s, small Berwickshire villages like Leitholm and Swinton would hold kirns, and one of the favorite dances was Drops o' Brandy. If I remember correctly (and much drink was consumed at these affairs, so maybe I don't) the dance was a six-some circle and weave sort of thing, but the tune I recall (again, with possible flawed memory) doesn't seem to fit the words above. Any thoughts, Bruce? |
