"Jumping John" is the name of a Scottish ballad set to the tune, first published in 1724 according to Stenhouse. The derivative "[[Cock of the North (1)]]" is a version that "is considerably altered and may represent a distinctive Highland version"<ref>R.D. Cannon, "English Bagpipe Music", '''Folk Music Journal''', vol. 2, No. 3, 1972, p. 206. </ref>. | |||

< | The tune is mentioned in an odd political tract entitled '''A Second Tale of a Tub: or the History of Robert Powell, the Puppet-Show-man''' (1715). A crowd of spectators was present for an organ performance, at the conclusion of which the various factions in the audience began to call for their favorite tunes. Amongst the crowed were: | ||
<blockquote> | |||
''a parcel of brawny fellows with Mantles about their shoulders, and blew caps about their heads. Next to them sate a company of clownish look’d Fellows with leather breeches, and hob nail’d shoes...the great booby hod nailed fellows whose breeches and lungs seem’d to be of the same leather, cried out for “Cheshire Rounds,” “Roger of Coverley,” “Joan’s Placket,” and “Northern Nancy.” Those with the Blew bonnets had very good voices, and split their Wems in hollowing out—“Bonny Dundee”—“Valiant Jockey,” “Sauny was a Bonny Lad,” and “’Twas within a Furlong of Edinburgh Town.” | |||
