BUTTERFLY [2], THE. English, Country Dance Tune (2/2 time). A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). ABA'. The tune is apparently a folk-process derivation of "I'd be a Butterfly," words and melody by English dramatist and song writer Thomas Haynes Bayly (1797-1839).
I’d be a butterfly born in a bower,
Where roses and lilies and violets meet.
Roving for ever from flower to flower,
And kissing all buds that are pretty and sweet.
