FY, NAY, PRITHEE JOHN. AKA and see "Pall-mall," "Pell-Mell." English, Country Dance Tune (2/2 time). G Minor (Barnes): G Dorian (Barlow). Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB (Barnes): AABB (Barlow). Originally published by Henry Playford in the 7th edition of the Dancing Master (London, 1786) as "Pall-mall". Playford also published a tune called "Fy, nay, prithee John" in the 12th edition of the Dancing Master (1703), but it is a different tune (see "Fy Nay Prithee John (2)"). Sharp notes: "To the tune of 'Pell-Mell'." 'Fy' is used as an exclamation (sometimes of disgust or shame), or to mean 'come' or 'hurry'.
