'''DARKER THE NIGHTS THE BETTER I SEE [2].'''  American, Reel (cut time). G Major/Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'B.  The tune is sourced to fiddler [[biography:Owen Chapman]] (1919-2002), of Chapman's Hollow, Canada, Pike County, Kentucky.  It bears no musical relationship with western North Carolina fiddler Manco Sneed's nearly identically titled "[[Darker the Night the better I can See (1) (The)]]," but rather is a version of "[[Give the Fiddler a Dram (2)]]," and has distant similarities to the British hornpipe "[[Cuckoo's Nest (4) (The)]]"/"[[Jacky Tar]]."
