'''BOBBY SHAFTOE/SHAFTO [1]'''. English, New England; Polka, Reel or Sword Dance. England, Northumberland. C Major (Karpeles, Peacock): D Major (Brody, Raven): G Major (Barnes, Miller & Perron {polka}, Raven {sword dance version}): B Flat Major (Stokoe). Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Raven & Karpeles {sword dance versions}, Bruce & Stokoe): AAB (Brody): AABB (Miller & Perron): AABBC (Barnes): AABBCCDD (Raven): AABBCCDDEEFFGG (Peacock). "Bobby Shaftoe" is better known to recent generations as a nursery rhyme and jump-rope song. There is a morris dance {called "[[Castlering]]"} from Lichfield, England, which is performed to an altered version of this tune (tune and dance printed in Raven, pg. 87). The 'B' part of the tune is the same as "[[Ladies Briest Knot]]/[[Lady's Breast Knot]](s)," [["Bonny Breast Knots (1)]]," and, in America, "[[Jaybird]]," "[[Skip to My Lou]]," and "[[Daddy Shot a Bear]]." The sword dance version is from the village of Askham Richard, England (Karpeles). Perhaps the oldest known version of the tune is in the manuscript of Henry Atkinson, dated 1694/95, under the title "[[Brave Wille Forster]]." Atkinson was a fiddler from Hartburn, Northumberland, in the North East of England (as evidenced by the bow markings in the manuscript, and the local place names). See also the musically distanced Lichfield, Staffordshire, morris variant "[[Castlering]]".

Bobby Shaftoe was a real person--one Robert Shafto (1732-1797), who was MP for County Durham from 1760 to 1768. He was a man of fashion who married two heiresses in turn and was known for his charm and elegance. His sister was Doroty, Countess of Lisburne, who married the 4th Viscoutn Lisburne, later (1766) the Earl of Liburne. Her portrait was painted by Joshua Reynolds (however, the Robert Shafto whose portrait was also painted by Reynolds was not Bonny Bobby Shafto-rather he was the eldest son of Robert Shafto of Benwell and died in 1780).
