Thread Name: Tune Req: Twa Recruitin' Sergeants
Subject: RE: Tune for Twa recruitin' Sergeants
The tune is substantially a 6/8 version of Over The Hills And Far Away or Tom Tom The Piper's Son. This does not answer Joe's question, just responds to it. Isla St Clair is the singer's name. The song was made famous through the singing of Jeannie Robertson of Aberdeen. I don't know what recordings of hers are still available in the US, there are criminally few about here in scotland at present.
