AKA and see "(Miss) McCloud's Reel," "Miss McLeod's/MacLeod's Reel [1]," "[[Hop High Ladies]] (the Cake's All Dough)," "[[Hop Light Ladies]]," "[[Cake's All Dough (The)]]," "[[Gigue américaine]]," "[[Green Mountain (1)]]," "[[Walk Jaw Bone (1)]]," "[[Billy Boy (2)]]." American, Air and Reel. USA; southwest Va., eastern Ky. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB'. A version of a wide-spread reel originally from the British Isles, called "[[Miss McLeod's Reel (1)]]." There are many floating verses attached to this melody in American tradition. A play-party verse was sung by Fiddling Powers in his 1927 recording (compare with Dan Tate's "Cindy"):
<blockquote>
''Railroad, steamboat,''<br>
''River and canal;''<br>
''Hadn't been for Kaiser Bill,''<br>
''There never wouldn't have been no hell.''<br>
</blockquote>
The earliest recording of this tune appears to be by [[Wikipedia:Henry_Whitter]] (1892-1941), called "Hop Light Ladies and Shortenin' Bread" (OKeh 40064, 1924). The tune also was recorded as an instrumental in the 78 RPM era by Madison County, Ky., fiddler [[Wikipedia:Doc_Roberts]] (1897-1978) and others.
