OLD MARLBOROUGH. AKA – "Heel and Toe." AKA and see "White Joak (The)." English, Morris Dance Tune (6/8 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune goes with one of three heel and toe dances collected in the village of Field Town (Leafield), Oxfordshire, England. "Old Marlborough" is a variant of the old country dance tune "White Joak (The)." The first part of the melody is the country dance tune "Yellow Joke (2)," a companion of sorts to its venerable cousin "Black Joke (1) (The)" (Not the "Yellow Joak" published by Walsh in his third Lancashire collection).
