JOHNNY IN THE NETHER MAINS. Scottish, "Slow" Reel. F Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Hunter): AABB (Carlin/Gow). This kind of title form (e.g. 'x' in the 'y' 'z') was inherited by American fiddlers; witness "Billy in the Lowground (1)," and in fact, Alan Jabbour sees similarities between the two tunes.
