Johnny Faa  Trad Scottish

'Faa'was the traditional family name used by the Kings of the Gypsies.  Calling
themselves "the Lords of Little Egypt", they had rights of free pasage through
Scotland, confirmed by Scottish kings in the 15th.C  This tune is associated
with the oldest versions of the song cycle in which a gypsy charms away a rich
man's wife (cf The Raggle Taggle Gypsies).  These songs evolved from the
cuckolding of the Lord Cassilis, a Scottish nobleman, upon whose wife a gypsy cast
his "glamour". Played sadly, but firmly
