"You Married My Daughter, but Yet You Didn’t", also known as "Cobbler's Reel",<br> "Reel des vieilles filles", "Rigodons des vieilles filles", "Tout d'un coup tu<br> maries ma fille" is a New England and Canadian reel and song air in cut time and<br> G Major. The parts are played AABB.<br> The tune is originally called "The Cobbler's Reel"<br> ("Reel du cordonnier") and has Québécois origins, although another tune called<br> "Shoemaker's Reel" is also known as "The Cobbler's Reel".<br> The curious title (popularized among New England contra-dance musicians from the<br> 1970 Reindeau Family recording) has been interpreted in various ways such as<br> 'you had sex with my daughter, but never married her'. Tom Paley thinks the tune and<br> name might have its origins in France. <br> It was printed in<br> Brody's Fiddler’s Fakebook (1983),<br> Milliner & Koken's Milliner-Koken Collection of American Fiddle Tunes (2011),<br> Songer & Curley's Portland Collection, vol. 2 (2005) and<br> Welling's Welling’s Hartford Tune Book (1976).<br> It was recorded on Une veillée de chez nous avec Tommy Duchensne (c. 1950)<br> and by The Riendeau Family on Old Time Fiddling (1970),<br> Fennigs All Stars on The Hammered Dulcimer Strikes Again,<br> Philippe Gagnon on Mon Québec C'est Mon Désir (1977) and<br> Louis Beaudoin on Louis Beaudoin (1973).<br>
