'''LIMPING SAL.''' Old-Time, Breakdown. USA, Missouri. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. It is perhaps AKA "Limping Sally Waters", a title appears in a list of traditional Ozark Mountain fiddle tunes compiled by musicologist/folklorist Vance Randolph. "Limping Sal" is also the name of a blackface minstrel song, performed by Christy & Campbell's Minstrels and other troupes. It appears in an 1848 songster published by the Christy & Campbell organization, but bears no musical relationship to the breakdown tune.
