Strathspey in A minor

An old Scottish tune played slow. Originally this was a vocal air and the title translates to “They Stole My Wife From Me Last Night”. It is unclear whether the author is sad about this or not.

Played as a strathspey on mandolin with guitar accompaniment. Forgive the first few measures where I fumble with the strathspey rhythm pattern. I did a number of takes and that was the best one.
