'''CLIMBING UP THE GOLDEN STAIR'''. Old-Time, Song and Breakdown. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. This tune, a composition of F. Heiser, is from the American minstrel repertoire and passed into fiddling tradition. Unfortunately, the words are rather patently racist. There was a singing dance call to the tune.
