POMPEY RAN AWAY. American, Jig (3/4 or 6/4 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune, perhaps the earliest extent attributed to African-Americans, appears in Glasgow publisher James Aird’s Selection of Scotch, English, Irish and Foreign Airs, vol. 1), 1782, No. 163, p. 57), labelled a “Negroe Jig”. American songwriter Dan Decateur Emmett's biographer, Hans Nathan, described it as "one of the earliest blends of European and primitive melodies," and conjectures that it is a collaboration between a British visitor who transcribed it from a transplanted African source. How authentic the melody is to African or African-American tradition is unknown.
