BILLY THE KID'S. American, Dance Tune. A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune is listed in Cole and Kerr as a 'jig' or 'sand jig'—not the Irish jig, but a type of mid-19th century banjo song to which a dance was performed. The sand jig is so-called because sand was sprinkled on the floor to facilitate some of the movements of the dance, which involved in part lightly brushing the foot on the floor. The title may not refer to the famous Wild West outlaw who died in Arizona in 1881 (Billy the Kid, born Henry McCarty, alias Kid Antrim, alias William H.
