SAM KING'S TUNE. AKA - "Sam Pipe's Funeral March]." American, March (4/4 time). USA, southwestern Pa. A Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB.

He identifies the melodies as the Scots "Logan Water" and an Irish hornpipe frequently called "tSeanbhean bhocht (An)" (Poor Old Woman (1)). Two of Bayard's versions were used as funeral dirges when played solemnly.
