POMPEY RAN AWAY. American, Jig (3/4 or 6/4 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune, perhaps the earliest extent attributed to African-Americans, appears in Glasgow publisher James Aird’s Selection of Scotch, English, Irish and Foreign Airs, vol. 1), 1782, No. 163, p. 57), labelled a “Negroe Jig” and indicating its provenance as "Virginian." American songwriter Dan Decateur Emmett's biographer, Hans Nathan, described it as "one of the earliest blends of European and primitive melodies," and conjectures that it is a collaboration between a British visitor who transcribed it from a transplanted African source. "It consists of English and Scottish folk song elements, but the frequent reiteration of a short-winded motive is the contribution of the slave"[1]. How authentic the melody is to African or African-American tradition is unknown.
