G Major ('A' part) & D Major ('B' part){Bayard}: E Major (‘A’ part) & A Major (‘B’ part) {Perlman}. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Bayard): AABB’ (Perlman). Maritime fiddler Don Messer (1909-1973) popularized the tune, which is associated with him and is now widespread in Canada and the northern United States, and even parts farther south.
