SALLY COMING THROUGH THE RYE. Old-Time, Breakdown. USA, West Virginia. A Dorian or A Mixolydian, or C Major (Lester McCumber). Standard, AEae (Ward Jarvis) or DGdg (Harvey Sampson), ADae tunings (fiddle). ABB. The first strain is irregular (‘crooked’) in form while the tonality may vary between Mixolydian and Dorian, meaning the accompanying chords can be either minor or major. Gerry Milnes identifies “Sally coming through the Rye” as a Calhoun County, central W.Va., tune. The reel was also in the repertoire of Athens County, Ohio, fiddler Ward Jarvis (1894-1982), who was originally from Calhoun County, W.Va., and who may have learned it there from a neighboring fiddler, Henry Franklin McCumbers. "Sally coming through the Rye" was also played by fiddler Harvey Sampson (1909-1991), who was born in Clay County but moved to Calhoun County as a young man. He learned the tune from his father, David A. Sampson, born 1866.
