ALCY MARLY. AKA - "Eley Molly." AKA and see "Elsie Marley." English; Air, Jig, Country Dance Tune (6/8 time). G Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCC. "Alcy Marly" is particularly associated with playing in the north of England, and with the Northumbrian smallpipes. The name Alcy is presumably a variant of Alice. Matt Seattle points out the the third strain of Northumbrian musician William Vickers' setting is unique. Lyrics, printed in Northumbrian Minstrelsy (1882) begin:
Di' ye ken Elsie Marley, honey,
The wife that sells the barley, honey,
She lost her pocket and all her money,
Aback o' the bush i' the garden, honey.
Elsie Marley's grown se fine,
She won't get up to serve her swine,
But lies in bed till eight or nine,
And surely she does take her time.
