BOIL THE(M) CABBAGE DOWN [1]. AKA - "Bile Them Cabbage Down." Old-Time, Breakdown. A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Phillips): AABB (Devil's Box). Known now as a beginner's tune especially useful for practicing the basic "Georgia Shuffle" rhythm, "Boil/Bile the Cabbage Down" has been widely known and played. Renowned early-mid 20th century North Georgia fiddler Clayton McMichen created a virtuoso version and featured it in competitions at major contests; Fiddlin' Arthur Smith also played it on his radio broadcasts (Frank Maloy). North Georgia fiddler Lowe Stokes played a version he called "Somebody's Rockin' My Sugar Lump."
