'''HELL ON THE WABASH [2]'''. American, March (2/4 time). E Minor (Mattson & Walz): A Minor (Cole, Kerr): A Major (Sweet). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB (Cole, Kerr, Sweet): AA'BB'CC' (Mattson & Walz). Listed as a 'jig' in '''Ryan's Mammoth'''/'''Cole's 1000''', referring not to the Irish 6/8 jig but to a type of old-time syncopated banjo tune known as a "straight" or "sand" jig. The minstrel origins for this syncopated tune are quite evident and the genre was popular on the early variety stage in the 1870's and 1880's. Its use as a march is attested to by its appearance in fife manuals and martial collections. Hans Nathan believes that melodic material from the Irish tune "[[Night We Made the Match (The)]]" contributed to Emmett's 'jig'. See also the related reel "[[Lady on the Green]]," from the repertoire of Nebraska fiddler Uncle Bob Walters.

HELL ON THE WABASH [2]. American, March (2/4 time). E Minor (Mattson & Walz). Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB'CC' (Mattson & Walz).

While cognate in some sections, the tune is dissimilar to Emmett's particularly in the first strain, set in a minor key with no modulation to the double-tonic in the third measure.
