'''CUCKOLDS ALL (IN) A ROW'''. AKA and see "[[Cuckolds All Awry]]," "[[Hey Boys Up Go We (1)]]." English, Jig (6/4 or 6/8 time). G Major (Raven): C Major (Chappell): D Major (Johnson). Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB (Chappell): AABB (Johnson, Raven). The air appears in Playford's '''English Dancing Master''' of 1651 and in every subsequent edition through the end of the long-running series, with the 18th (1728), then published by John Young in London. "Cuckolds All Arow" was also published in all three editions of Walsh's '''Compleat Country Dancing Master''' (1718, 1731, 1754). It was used as a party tune by the Cavaliers, according to Chappell (1859), who states that they sang the words of "Hey, boys, up go we" and "London's true character" to the tune. The latter song heaped abuse on the citizens of that town for siding against the King in the civil wars, and began "You coward-hearted citizens..."; it is printed in '''Rats rhimed to Death; or, The Rump Parliament hanged in the Shambles''' (1660) and in both editions of '''Loyal Songs written against the Rump Parliament'''. "Culcolds All a Row" is mentioned in the older song "O London in a fine town." Samuel Pepys (a middle-class government official with a long and successful career in the Navy office) attended a dance at the court of Charles II, misheard the name of the tune, and made this entry in his diary (which he kept in code) on the 31st of December, 1662:

''indeed he dances rarely, and much better than the Duke of York. Having''
''stayed there as long as I thought fit, to my infinate content, it being''
''the greatest pleasure I could wish now to see at Court, I went home,''
''leaving them dancing. ''
</blockquote>
Interestingly, Pepys was a fiddler, and wrote in his entry for April 24, 1663:
<blockquote>
''After dinner all the afternoon fiddling upon my viallin (which I have''
''not done many a day), while Ashwell (his wife's female servant)''
''danced above in my upper best chamber, which is a rare room for''
''musique.''
</blockquote>
Forest of Dean, Gloucester, fiddler Charles Baldwin's "[[Morris Call]]" is a version of "Cuckold all a row" [http://www.mustrad.org.uk/articles/waifs.htm]. Phillip Heath-Coleman points out that another Forest of Dean musician, Henry Allen, knew it under the title "[[Calling On]]," and that the melody was the vehicle for the Fieldtown (Leafield), Oxfordshire, Morris dance nicknamed "Signposts" AKA "[[Shepherd's Hey]]" (not the ususal tune by that name."
