AIN'T GONNA GET NO SUPPER HERE TONIGHT. AKA - "Supper Tonight." American, Reel. A Major: G Major. AEae tuning (fiddle): gDGDE tuning ("Old G" or "Sandy River Belle" banjo tuning). Sourced to Texas fiddler John Wills (Bob Wills' father) via the late California mandolinist Kenny Hall and Vermont fiddler Pete Sutherland. The original key was A Major, although Sutherland plays it in 'G'. A tune called "Not Gonna Get No Supper Here Tonight," also played in G Major, was recorded for the Library of Congress in 1939 by Tishomingo County, Mississippi fiddler John Brown. The title comes from a lyric, parts of which was a "floater" (i.e. usually a couplet or rhyme employed in a variety of different fiddle-songs), as sung, for example, by Tennessee banjo player and entertainer Uncle Dave Macon in a song recorded as "Sourwood Mountain Medley." It begins:
- I asked that girl to be my wife,
What'd you reckon she said,
She would not have the poor boy,
If everyone else was dead.
Chorus:
Ain't gonna get no supper here tonight,
Ain't gwine get no supper here tonight.
Oh, my don't tell, Oh my ring the bell,
Ain't gwine get no supper here tonight,
Ain't gwine get no supper here tonight.
See also south-central Kentucky fiddler Sammie Walker's (1910-1987) "Get No Supper Here Tonight," a different reel with a very similar title.
