Back to Meggy's Foot
MEGGY'S FOOT. AKA - "Maggy's Foot." English, March or Reel. England, Northumberland. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCCDDEEFFGGHH. About a donkey, the only surviving words being "Take a peep at Meggy's foot, take a peep at Meggy's foot" (sung to the third part with its repeated intervals of a sixth). Northumbrian concertina player Alistair Anderson says the tune describes a farmer's ride home from market on a lame horse, "one, two, three, clunk!" The staccato tune (for the Northumbrian pipes) plays better as a quick march rather than a reel.
