Back to Hurrah for the Bonnets of Blue

HURRAH FOR THE BONNETS OF BLUE. English, Scottish; Air and Jig. England, Northumberland. G Major (Hall & Stafford, Manson, Raven): D Major (Ross, Sweet). Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Hall & Stafford, Manson, Raven): AAB (Ross): AABB (Sweet): ABC (Davidson). 'Blue Bonnets' is a euphemism for the Scots, stemming, it is said, from the custom of Jacobite troops identifying themselves with a white cockade worn on a blue bonnet, the only thing that passed for a uniform in those days. The white cockade emblem is said to have originated when Bonnie Prince Charlie plucked a wild rose and pinned it to his hat.
