TURKEYLONEY. English, Jig and Country Dance Air (6/4 time). G Dorian (Raven): E Dorian (Chappell). Standard tuning (fiddle). One part (Raven): ABBCCDD (Chappell). This dance tune, one of the most popular of the latter sixteenth century, appears in William Ballet's Lute Book (1590). Chappell (1859) quotes a reference to the tune in Nashe's "Have with you to Saffron Walden:"
Dick Harvey...having preacht and beat downe three pulpits in inveighing against dauncing, one Sunday evening, when his wench or friskin was footing it aloft on the greene, with foote out and foote in, and as busie as might be at 'Rogero', 'Baselino', 'Turkelony', 'All the flowers of the broom', 'Pepper is black', 'Greene Sleeves', 'Peggy Ransey', came sneaking behind a tree, and lookt on," ...etc.
