THREE O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING. American, Waltz (3/4 time). USA, Arizona. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). "wikipedia:Three O'Clock in the Morning" was a waltz composed by wikipedia:Julián Robledo (1887–1940), an Argentine tango composer born in Spain, written as a piano solo and published in New Orleans in 1919. It was immensely popular in the 1920's (popularized by Paul Whiteman's million-selling recording) and versions entered a number of genres, including contemporary dance music, swing, bluegrass, contest and old-time fiddle styles. Arizona fiddler Kenner C. Kartchner recalled that it "came about 1910," misremembering by a decade.
