A few more words from George Skene's fiddle and bagpipe MS of 1715:

Lasses gar your Tails Todle,
spread your houghs lat in the Dodle,
that will gar your Tails Todle

Incidentally there is a beautiful extended version of the tune in Margaret Sinkler's MS of 1710:

I've never heard anyone play that.
