N:A widespread tune. See versions in both Jackson, H.S.J (Winder) and Harrison collections.
N:NB1-Lots of splodges makes this first bar difficult to decipher. Notes given are as commonly played, and
N:fit in with bar 3.
N:NB2-This bar is as written making an odd length bar. The B section has only 3 bars. I'm leaving it to the
N:player to decide on a satisfying correction.

B:”Melodist: A Collection of music in two volumes" (1826-1859, No. 53, p. 29)
N:The melodist is a musician's ms., probably by a fiddler, that contains both
N:tunes and songs from a variety of sources, American and European. The
N:inscription on the inside cover reads, "This is from the Bridge family of
N:Augusta, Maine (Horatio Bridge, friend of Hawthorne's)". However, entries in
N:the ms. were in different hands indicating several contributors.
N:The ms. is neat and the notation studied and precise.
