Back to Hurrah for the Bonnets of Blue
HURRAH FOR THE BONNETS OF BLUE. English, Scottish; Jig. England, Northumberland. G Major (Hall & Stafford, Raven): D Major (Sweet). Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Hall & Stafford, Raven): AABB (Sweet): ABC (Davidson). 'Blue Bonnets' is a euphemism for the Scots, steming, it is said, from the custom of Jacobite troops identifying themselves with a white cockade worn on a blue bonnet, the only thing that passed for a uniform in those days. The white cockade emblem is said to have originated when Bonnie Prince Charlie plucked a wild rose and pinned it to his hat.
