Back to Gippy Get Your Hair Cut

GIPPIE GET YOUR HAIRCUT. AKA and see "Chippy/Tippie/Johnny/Hippie Get Your Hair Cut." American, Reel (cut or 2/4 time). USA, W. Va. C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB (Phillips/1989): AA'B (Phillips/1994) {the 'B' part is irregular}. Words to the tune go:

Johnny get your hair cut, hair cut, hair cut,
Johnny get your hair cut, hair cut short.
Johnny get your hair cut, hair cut, hair cut,
Johnny get your hair cut like a sport.

Joel Shimberg reports that West Virginia fiddler Melvin Wine sang the fragment "Gippy get your hair cut short like mine" to the melody. "Pineywoods Gal" has some similarities to "Gippie get Your Hair Cut" but it is not a cognate tune.
