OLD BLACK JOE [1]. English, Morris Dance Tune (6/8 time). D Major (Mallinson): B Flat Major (Bacon). Standard tuning (fiddle). ABB (x4), A (Mallinson): AABBBB (x4), A (Bacon). A version of the quite old and popular jig "Black Joke (1) (The)," collected from Badby, Northamptonshire, in England's Cotswolds. This Badby variation lacks the usual distinctive two measure ending commonly found in "Black Joke" versions. The title is a curious confusion between the old English name and the title of the parlor song by Stephen Foster (1826–1864), "Old Black Joe," published in New York in 1853. See note for "Annotation:Black Joke (1) (The)" for Kirkpatrick's opinion on the dance.
