A standard fife tune in southwestern Pa., usually known by the first alternate title, though this version was played slowly and deliberately, states Bayard (1981), and was different in its tonality, alternating between G and D instead of being solidly in G, as in other versions. Greene County is in southwestern Pa.  Source for notated version: Samuel Palmer (Fayette County, Pa., 1944) [Bayard].  Printed sources: Bayard (Dance to the Fiddle), 1981; No. 215H, p. 172.
