England, Northumberland. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Jedburgh is a city in the Borders region of Scotland. It was formerly a cloth manufacturing center, and once featured a famous abbey. The title appears to be a fairly recent attachment to a tune that has some antiquity, and is one that is associated with the piping tradition. A couplet printed by Robert Chambers (Popular Rhymes of Scotland, 1870) goes: Ye'll be kissed and I'll be kissed, We'll a' be kissed the morn; The braw lads o' Jethart Will kiss us a' the morn.
