OLD MRS. HUDDLEDEE. AKA and see "Kafoozalum," "Katie Bairdie." English, Schottische. The tune was played in a medley of schottisches in southern England, along with "Washing Day [1]" and "The Keel Row"; Norfolk area concertina player Scan Tester (1887-1972) and fiddler Walter Bulwer (1882-c. 1972) both independently knew the medley. Bulwer sung this ditty to the tune:

Old Mrs. Hudledee
Went to bed to cuddle me;
Cocked her leg right over me
To keep her belly warm.
