VIRGIN QUEEN. AKA and see "Riding a Mile (1)," "Cummilum," "Is Cuma Liom," "I Don't Care," "Fairest Put on Awhile," "Mad Moll (1)," "Yellow Stockings." English, Air (9/8 time). A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. The title dates from 1703 when it appeared in the supplement to the 11th edition of Playford's Dancing Master; the tune, however, had previously been published by Playford as "Mad Moll" in his 1698 edition of that work. Swift wrote a song, called "O My Kitten," to the tune. Philippe Varlet suggests that “The Virgin Queen” is the ancestor of the Irish melody "Humors of Whiskey" and is related to the double jigs "Langstrom's Pony" and "Mooncoin Jig (The).”
