GUEST	Old fiddle tunes recycled as songs (26)	RE: Old fiddle tunes recycled as songs	21 Apr 14
The Dashing White Sergeant started out as a (dreadful) song from about 1816. It was a couple of generations before it was turned into a fiddle tune. I have a vague recollection of hearing words to it once, but they are never sung in Scotland these days, and the original words are completely forgotten (thank god).
