WATSON’S HORNPIPE. English, Hornpipe. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The first strain is shared with “Miss Sackville’s Fancy”, printed in Glasgow by James Aird in 1785. The melody with a different second strain appears as an untitled hornpipe in the George Henry Watson (Swanton Abbott, Norfolk) music manuscript collection, c. 1890 (hence being dubbed "Watson's Hornpipe"). Compare also with "Lishman's Second Hornpipe" which may have had a common ancestor, and with the first strain of "Saturday Night (6).
