ACE OF SPADES. AKA and see "Billy Wilson (1)." American, Schottische. A Major. Standard tuning. AABB.A schottische that has some melodic similarties to the well-known old-time and bluegrass melody "Billy Wilson 1" or "Little Billy Wilson," although perhaps not enough prima facie evidence to label it a cognate or variant relationship.
