Collected in the village of Oddington, Gloucestershire, England. The "Old Frog" was presumably Napoleon Bonaparte. The tune and dance were collected by Clive Carey in 1912 and 1913 from an elderly (aged 74) laboring man named Charles Taylor (known locally as 'Minnie' or 'Titch' because of his short stature). Taylor (1838-191) claimed the Oddington team [1] had last danced in 1888, but that he could still dance the night through.
