Transcription: by Darryl D. Bush
"Gin Ye Kiss My Wife I'll Tell the Minister" is a Scottish pastoral air in 4/4 time in the
key of A Minor. It is often described as a "very old air". This was the original tune for the
Sean Trews/Triubhas, an ancient Highland dance in which the dancers wear tartan trousers
rather than the sporran and kilt.
It was printed in Hardie's Caledonian Companion (1992), Skinner's Harp and Claymore (1904) and
Skinner's The Scottish Violinist.
It was recorded by Abby Newton on Crossing to Scotland (1997) and Maggie Sansone with
Ensemble Galilei on Music in the Great Hall (1992).
