[LXIII. Oh, Samuel, oh], [p. 168].
This tune is in the Mixolydian Mode.
[LXXXVIII. War down a Monkland], [p. 187].
The tune is in the Dorian Mode. By far the most interesting tune in this collection. It is a fine Dorian air, I should think an old traditional tune imported by English or Irish.
There are slight modal influences in other tunes, viz.: "Bad homan oh," "Bell oh," "A Somerset me barn," "Whé me loon dé," "Me da lí," and "Since Dora Logan a wahk with Gallawoss" (Nos. [56], [57], [85], [91], [100], [122]).
This tune is a variant of the well-known children's game-song, "Here come three Dukes a-riding."
The tune is a variant of one commonly sung in the North of England and in various parts of Scotland, to a children's game, "Hullaballoo ballie," in which reference is made to lifting the right foot and the left foot.
