The melody first appears in Rutherford's Choice Collection of Sixty of the Most Celebrated Country Dances (London, 1750). Although the tunes are different, it may have been modeled after a French country dance called "La Badine" that appears in early 18th century Continental publications. __NORICHEDITOR__
