HUNG MY JAWBONE ON THE FENCE. AKA - "I Hung My Jawbone," "Jawbone." American, Reel (cut time). USA, Arkansas. A Major. AEae tuning (fiddle). AABB'CC'. The tune was recorded by the Library of Congress by musicologist/folklorist Vance Randolph (1892-1980) from Ozark Mountain fiddlers in the early 1940's. Source Lon Jordan sang several ditty verses in the second strain of the melody, of which only one line is clearly decipherable:
Hung my jawbone on the fence,
Ain't seen nothin' of my jawbone since.
Although this tune has no musical relation to the similarly-titled tune "Jawbone," the ditty line is shared between the two tunes, points out Drew Beisswenger (2008). He also finds similar verses in "Give the Fiddler a Dram" (as played by Kentucky fiddler James Crase, for example), but, again, the music differs.
