INDIAN NATION [2]. American, Reel (cut time). G Major. GDad or DDad tunings (fiddle). AA'BB'. A vague resemblance in the 'A' part to "Indian Nation (1)." Rather more similarity to Kentucky fiddler Alva Greene's "Indian Squaw (1)." See also the related "Inch Along," "Nigger Inch Along" and "Johnny Inchin' Along."
