FARE YOU WELL MY SUSAN. AKA and see "Frog in the Millpond (1)." American, Song and Dance Tune (4/4 time). USA, southwestern Pa. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. Bayard collected this tune which was used as both a song and dance tune in southwestern Pa.

Fare you well, my Susan.
Fare you well, my dear.
Fare you well, my Susan
I'm goin' to leave you here--
Chorus:
Frog in the millpond, hoppadoo, hoppadoo,
Frog in the millpond, hoppadoodle day.
Frog in the millpond settin' on a log,
Devil on the hillside gruntin' like a hog.
