COAL CREEK. American, Reel (cut time). USA, Kentucky. A Mixolydian. AEae tuning (fiddle). AA'BB. A different tune than "Coal Creek March." The tune was played by only one fiddler, biography:Manon Campbell (1890-1987), who said it was the first tune he learned to play as a boy of ten or eleven, obtained from local sources (Titon, 2001). Campbell told Mark Wilson the tune at one time had words attached to it, although he remember but a fragment: " 'Do you want to go to Coal Creek; do you want to go to town? Do you want to get knocked down' or something like that" said the fiddler, who also recalled "Oh, that was just a piece that they used to frolic and dance to." Wilson sees some resemblance between Campbell's fragment and the "Sugar Hill" lyric group.
Joel Shimberg points out this tune is a close relative of West Virginia fiddler Oscar Wright's "Shooting Creek (1)."
