Back to Rattle the Cash (1)
RATTLE THE CASH. American, Irish, English; Slide or Jig. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune was used for a single step dance in the North-West (England) morris dance tradition. Kerr identifies the jig as Irish, and although there is little of Irish character in the melody, the tune was published by Patrick O'Flannagan in The Hibernia Collection (Boston, 1860). However, the first strain is a 6/8 setting of the Scottish "Up and Waur Them A' Willie (1)."
‘Rattle the Cash’ was the name of at least one bay stud, bequeathed in the will of Frances Wren in 1808, late the resident of Wilkinson County, Mississippi Territory, so the phrase was in currency in the early 19th century.
