'''CUCKOO'S NEST [1], THE'''. English, Reel and Morris Dance Tune (4/4 time). G Dorian (Playford version): G Major (Longborough, Ilmington versions): G Minor/Dorian (Bacon & Raven-Bledington version): E Minor (Mallinson-Bledington). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABA (Bacon-Longborough): AABB (Playford): AAB, x4, AA (Ilmington, Longborough): AABBCC (Raven-Bledington): AABB,AABB,AACC,AACC,AA (Bacon & Mallinson-Bledington). Sometimes known as "The Old Cuckoo's Nest" to differentiate it from what is perceived as newer airs  with that title. The melody is said to appear in Playford's '''The English Dancing Master''' (1651), but I have not been able to verify the source. "The Cuckoo's Nest"  has had great currency as a morris dance tune from many villages of England's Cotswold region, and is melodically similar in the areas of Ilmington, Longborough and Bledington, although it has a wide variation in other locales. John Kirkpatrick (1976) notes that the Longborough dancers were particularly proud of their jumps which occur after every bar of stepping, and that the music should reflect and allow for this practice. In folksong, the 'cuckoo's nest' is sometimes a euphemism for female genetilia (Simpson & Roud, "'Oxford Dictionary of English Folklore''', 2000).

''Source for notated version'': Charles Benfield (Rollo Woods, England) [Bacon-Bledington]. Benfield (1841-1929) was born in Bould, a hamlet just down the hill from Idbury, Oxfordshire, who was the musician for the second 19th century revival of the Idbury/Bledington Cotswold morris team. He originally played a pipe and tabor but switched to the fiddle when "the position became open." Collector Cecil Sharp noted many tune from Benfield, although at the time the fiddler was quite elderly and had no playable instrument. Sharp first had to buy him a new fiddle to continue his collection work.
