(OLD TIME) FIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN [5]. American, Reel (cut time). USA, Franklin & Floyd Counties, southwest Va. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. No relation to any other versions by this title. The second strain is a variant of the first, played an octave lower. Tom Carter and Blanton Owen remark that the tune is reminiscent of Norman Edmond's "Hawks and Eagles." See also the tune "Sambo." Southwest Virginia musicians Sam Connor (fiddle) and Dent Wimmer (banjo), longtime friends and playing partners, played the tune as "Old Time Fire on the Mountain," while at the same time having in their repertory the usual "Fire on the Mountain" ("Hey Betty Martin") tune, albeit under the title "Ten Little Indians"^[1].
