Roy's Wife

Strathspey · 4/4 · G major

Roy's Wife is a traditional Scottish strathspey set in four-four meter and G major, with its exact composer and early origins remaining uncertain. Played in the characteristic dotted rhythm of a strathspey, it features a lively and distinctly Scottish character well suited for dancing. The tune takes its name from the popular eighteenth-century song lyrics written by Mrs. Grant of Carron to fit the already established melody.
