Thread Name: Tune Req: Lads o' Galla Water
Subject: RE: Lads o' Galla Water tune(s)?
The tune Lutenist referred to is virtually the same as the one in Scots Musical Museum (No. 125; "Braw, braw lads of Galla-water"). Burns' version ("Gala Water") is sung to that tune. See also Scots Minstrelsie: A National Monument of Scottish Song, edited and arranged by John Greig, Volume 1 ("Braw, Braw Lads").
