|f_annotation='''NANCY BLEVINS.''' American, Reel & Song (cut time). USA, southwestern Va., western North Carolina. D Major. ADad tuning (Albert Hash). One part. The melody is known as a Surry County, North Carolina, regional tune, sourced to fiddler and instrument maker Albert Hash [https://mountainmusicmagazine.weebly.com/mountain-music-legacies/2] (1917-1983), who lived in nearby Whitetop Mountain, Grayson County, Virginia. Kerry Blech queried Kilby Spencer, Albert Hash's nephew, about the tune. Kilby and Albert discussed it in a c. 1970's taped interview, wherein Albert Hash (1917-1983) said he learned the tune from Jim Reedy, who learned the song from his father, Bob Reedy. Albert recalled:

The tune is similar in the first strain to another tune by a regional fiddler, Norman Edmonds, called "[[Hawks and Eagles]]."
