English (originally), American; Country Dance Tune (2/4 time) or March. D Major (~~Bayard, Howe, Keller, Kennedy, Kidson, Raven, Sweet~~): G Major (Linscott): C Major (Kerr): A Major (Buckley). Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Bayard, Johnson, Linscott): AAB (Kerr): AABB (~~Johnson, Kidson, Raven, Sweet~~): AABBA'A'B'B' (Kennedy). There is some mystery and controversy about the exact origins of one of the most famous tunes in American tradition, "Yankee Doodle" [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yankee_Doodle]. Elson ('''The National Music of America''', 1899) finds that the first part of the melody was once quite familiar to Dutch musicians and “has been used in Holland from time immemorial as a children’s song,” however, the second part was not known. The Irish musicologist Flood (1906) maintains "Yankee Doodle" derives from a Jacobite era (early 18th century) song called "[[All the Way to Galway (1)]]." Claims have also been made for Spanish and even Hungarian musical origins. The earliest appearance of the complete melody was claimed by Dr. Rimbault (1876) to have been a printing in Walsh's '''Collection of Dances for the year 1750''' where it he said it appears as "[[Fisher's Jig]]" (a reference to the ‘notorious lady’, Kitty Fisher, who died in 1771). Rimbault later wrote that it was a country dance found under the title “[[~~Kitty Fisher|~~Kitty Fisher's Jig]],” written in triple time, but that it was afterwards altered to common time, although the title remained the same (he printed what he said was the Walsh tune in the magazine '''Leisure Hour''', see abc below). The problem is that no one has been able to locate the melody in either Walsh’s publication or in any of Thompson’s Country Dance Books of the same era. “Kitty Fisher” does exist in Thompson and Son’s '''Twenty-four Country Dances for 1760''' but it is a different, duple-time tune, unlike anything resembling what we know as “Yankee Doodle.” A nursery rhyme exists that goes:

It is surprising to note that "Yankee Doodle" was used, along with "[[Edie Sammon's Tune]]," as part of the music for the ritual horn dance at Abbots Bromley, Staffordshire, England in late Victorian times (see "[[Edie Sammon's Tune]]"); the playing of "Yankee Doodle" thus emphasized the whimsical nature of the dance (which features, along with the horn dancers, the characters of the hobby horse, Robin Hood, the Maid and the Fool), which is performed with such dusky solemnity at modern ‘Revels’ stage productions in America. The title appears in a list of tunes in his repertoire brought by Philip Goodman, the last professional and traditional piper in Farney, Louth, to the Feis Ceoil in Belfast in 1898 (Breathnach, 1997). While mostly traditional Irish in his repertoire, Goodman regularly played several novelty or ‘popular’ tunes (he also played “Dixie,” calling it “Dicksie’s Land,” and thus covered all bases for Irish veterans of both sides of the Civil War). Recorded by Alabama fiddler Dr. D. Dix Hollis (1961–1927) for the Silvertone (Sears) label, 1924.
