clueless don | Lyr Req: Merrily Kiss the Quaker (32) | RE: Lyr Req: Merrily Kiss the Quaker | 29 Nov 11 |
In Irish music and dance circles, "The Quaker's Wife" appears to be an abbreviated version of "Merrily Kiss the Quaker" (also called "Merrily kissed the Quaker" or "Merrily kiss the Quaker's Wife" and probably any number of other names.) "Merrily Kiss the Quaker" is usually described as a slide, but is often played in a fashion as to be indistinguishable from a regular double jig. |
