MARCH PAST. AKA and see "Din Tarrant's (6)," "Wha Saw the Forty Twa," "Wha Saw the Forty Second?," "Wha Wadna Fecht for Charlie?," Scottish, March. John Kirkpatrick identifies the tune as Scottish, used there as a march or strathspey. The melody is also played in Ireland as a polka. It was picked up by morris dancers in the Cotswold village of Eynsham, Oxon, a team which impressed collector Cecil Sharp in the early 20th century with their speed and high kicks.
Source for notated version: a manuscript by Kenworthy Schofield [Bacon], who mastered both the accordion and the pipe and tabor, and who was a dance leader and teacher. He was a member of the Cambridge Morris Men in the 1920's.
