BONNY MAID, THE. Old-Time, Reel. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). ABB.
"Both the title and first part of this reel have the appearance of being importations from Great Britain. The second part is a common enough strain, compounded of familiar formulae, and one would not be surprised to find it serving as a component part of other tunes. Noticeable in American country dance music is the frequent occurrence of tunes with a good first part joined to a mediocre second strain. sometimes the second strains of such compounds are plainly modern, while the first parts bear clearer marks of antiquity. See note for 'Rocky Mountain Hornpipe'" (Bayard, 1944).
Source for notated version: "Whistled by F.P. Provance (as he formerly played it on the violin), Point Marion, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, October 16, 1943. Learned from Bill Martin (brother of Emery Martin), a fiddler of Dunbar, Pennsylvania" [Bayard, 1944].
