A tune entirely in the pentatonic, the only one in Bayard's huge collection. Bayard transcribed the tune from the playing of 69 year old fiddler Hiram White (near Waynesburg, Greene County, Pa.) in the 1930's, who sang these words with it:
All the gals is gone away
Down to the straw-pile ready for play.
All the gals is gone away--
Fetch them back and make them stay.
