Rise Ye Lazy Fellow

Found on Calum Stewart and Lauren MacColl’s recording, Wooden Flute and Fiddle. It sounds to me like an American Old-time fiddle tune.

Fiddler’s Companion

"AKA and see "Rise Lazy Lubber." Scottish, Reel. A Minor. Standard. AABB’. John Glen (1891) finds the earliest appearance of the tune in print in Angus Cumming’s 1780 collection (as the strathspey "Rise Lazy Lubber," pg. 8). Kerr (Merry Melodies), Vol. 2; No. 67, pg. 10.
