WE'LL AYE GANG BACK TO YON TOWN [1]. Scottish, Reel (cut time). G Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. Composed by Aberdeenshire fiddler-composer biography:Alexander Walker, born in Strathbogie, Scotland, in 1819, the title undoubtedly a take-off on the famous “I'll Gang Nae Mair to Yon Town/We'll gang nae mair to yon Town.” According to Paul Stewart Cranford (1991) the tune still has currency among Cape Breton fiddlers.
