FIDDLER'S DRAM. AKA - "Fiddler a Dram." AKA and see "Give the Fiddler a Dram (1)." American, Reel (cut time). USA; central West Virginia, Kentucky, northeast Alabama. G Major/Mixolydian (Spadaro): A Mixolydian (Milliner & Koken). Standard, AEae (James Crase) or DGdg (Harvey Sampson) tunings (fiddle). AAB (Milliner & Koken): AABB (Spadaro). The tune, widespread over the upland South, was a standard one in the square dance fiddler repertoire as asserted by A.B. Moore in History of Alabama (1934) {Cauthen, 1990}. Words were interchangeable with a few other song/tunes, including "Dance all Night with a Bottle in Your Hand." Kentucky fiddler James Crase, recorded by folklorist John Cohen in 1959, sang the following to the first strain of the tune:
Dance all night with a bottle in the hand,
Just before day give the fiddler a dram.
Fiddler a dram, fiddler a dram,
Way before day give the fiddler a dram.
Old Jawbone and Jinny come along,
In comes Sally with her big boots on."
Left my jawbone on the fence,
Ain't seen nothing of a jawbone since.
Old jawbone, Jinny come along,
In come Sally with her big boots on.
Four been years since I been gone,
Pretty little girl with the red dress on.
She put it off, I put it on,
In comes Sally with her big boots on.
