"Da Peerie Hoose Ahint/Ahunt da Burn", also known as “Fay's Hornpipe” or "Fey's<br> Hornpipe" is an English or Scottish march or reel in G Major. It is known in<br> Scotland and the Shetland Islands. The parts are played AABB.<br> The title is Shetland dialect for “The Little House by the Stream”, i.e.: the outhouse.<br> You very seldom find either tunes or songs about outhouses. The only other items that I<br> know are two songs by Billy Ed Wheeler - "The Interstate is Comin' Through My Outhouse" and<br> "Ode to the Little Brown Shack Out Back".<br> It was printed in Williamson's English, Welsh, Scottish and Irish Fiddle Tunes (1976) and<br> Anderson & Swing's Haand Me Doon da Fiddle (1979). <br> It was recorded by Tom Anderson's Shetland Fiddle Band on Scottish Fiddlers to the Fore,<br> Wendy MacIssac on The ‘Reel’ Thing (1994), The Shetland Fiddlers' Society on Scottish<br> Traditional Fiddle Music (1978)and The Boys of the Lough on Far from Home (1986).<br>
