WALK IN THE PARLOR [1]. AKA and see "Walking in the Parlor." American, Air (4/4 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. The song, as performed by Christy's Minstrels, was published in New York in 1847. The dialect lyric begins:
I'm right from old Virginny, wid my head so full of knarledge,
I never went to free school, or any odder college,
But I will tell you one ting, it is a certain fact,
I'll git you 'scription of de world in a twinkling of a crack,
So walk in, walk in, walk in I say!
Walk in to de parlor, and hear de banjo play.
