'''BOAT(S)MAN [2]'''. AKA and see "[[Sailing Down the River on the O-hi-o]]," "[[Ohio River]]," "[[Boatman Dance]]." Old-Time, Breakdown. USA; W.Va., Pa. A Major (Krassen, Phillips): D Major (Johnson): G Major (Spadaro). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBC: ABCC (Johnson): AABBCC (Phillips). The fiddle tune is derived from the minstrel piece credited to Dan Emmett called "[[Boatmen Dance (De)]]" or "[[Dance Boatman Dance]];" the tune (words below), according to some accounts, was first heard in performance in Boston in 1843. Emmett published it in that year, advertising it as "An Original Banjo Melody." The tune appears in many American and even English songsters of the 19th and early 20th centuries; Scott (1926) prints it as "Sung by the Ethiopian Serenaders." Both Nathan and Cauthen (1990) assert the melody was in folk currency before the minstrel era, and that it made its way back to folk currency in the fiddle tradition after popularization by minstrels; this is probably true, for it was in print (as "Ohio River") in George P. Knauff's '''Virginia Reels''', volume IV (Baltimore, 1839) -- associated with Ohio River boatmen -- before it was played on the minstrel stage. See also "[[Boatman's Dance]]" for version of the tune in the morris dance tradition and "[[Little Rabbit]]" and "[[Little Bobby]]" for a cognate melodies in Old-Time tradition.
