SHIPPENSPORT. AKA – “Shippinport,” “Shipping Port,” “Shippingport” AKA and see “Blackbird Says (to the Crow).” Old Time, Breakdown. USA, eastern Kentucky. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB (Titon): AABBCC (Phillips). Shippensport or Shippingport was a town in the state of Kentucky at the site of what is now called Louisville. Falls were once present on the Ohio River at that location, requiring in former times the removal of goods from river craft that then had to portage the falls. A town grew up around the falls, Shippingport. Eventually a dam was built with locks for river traffic, and all that remains of Shippingport today is in the name of nearby Shippingport Island. The tune is sometimes played as a two-part tune (see John Master’s version). See the Irish reel "Greenfields of America (1)" which is related in the low part. The melody was known to African-American fiddler Cuje Bertram as “Blackbird Says to the Crow.”
