Scottish, Country Dance Tune and Jig (6/4 or 6/8 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part (Walsh): AABBCC (McLachlan): AA'BB'CC'.

Several dances were called "Country Bumpkin," perhaps the most prominent being The Bumpkin or The Ninesome Reel that was a type of cushion dance (See note for "annotation:Babbity Bowster" for more).
