Tune Information

Author: Traditional

Origin: Canada - Quebec

This tune from Quebec was originally called Reel Du Petit Cordonnier (Cobbler's Reel) but later became known as Tout d'Un Coup Tu Maries Ma Fille. There are lyrics matching the tune's title that translate to "All of a sudden you marry my daughter / All of a sudden you don't / All of a sudden you go to Egypt / All of a sudden you remain in Canada." This may refer to a postponed wedding plan at the time of the 1956 Suez Canal Crisis, where Canadians were included in the peace-keeping forces.

Tune Information

Origin: Ireland

This tune may also be of Scottish provenance, but printings only go as far back as the 1880's, where it was listed as an Irish tune. It is not in the Great Highland Bagpipe repertoire, so an Irish provenance seems more likely. It is also known as Smugglers Reel.
