'''BLACK LEGS'''.  AKA and see "[[Bonnie Kate (2)]]." English, Country Dance Tune (4/4 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. 'Black Legs' was a term for "a gambler or sharper on the turf or in the cockpit: so called, perhaps, from their appearing generally in boots; or else from game-cocks whose legs are always black" [Grose, '''The 1811 Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue''']. The tune is well-known to English trad. musicians in modern times as the polka "Bonny Kate," popularized by New Victory Band and others. The tune appears as "[[Black Leggs]]" in the Thomas Hammersley manuscript (1790, London) and as "Black Leggs or Bonny Cate" in the William Clarke manuscript (1770, Lincoln). See note for "[[Bonnie Kate (2)]]."
