This tune dates from the 17th century, and a country dance of the same name was frequently taught by country dance masters in Scotland in the 19th century. Both the tune and the dance were also well-known in County Donegal, Ireland. "Riggs" are furrows of a newly plowed field, in this case a grain field.
