YOW(E) CAM TO WIR DOOR (YARMIN), A. Shetland, Listening Tune or Shetland Reel. Shetland, Whalsay. A Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. A "very old" traditional Shetland tune, whose title means "A ewe came to our door bleating". Anderson (1970) notes "The interesting thing is the neutral note appearing in the 7th bar, fourth note. Neutral notes are also found in Hardangar (Norwegian/Swedish) fiddle music".

Compare also "Yowe cam to wir door Yarmin" with the Scottish "Miss Ann Baine's Fancy", a different tune but with some similarities in melodic rhythm and contour.
