'''DANCE ALL NIGHT'''.

USA: West Virginia, Virginia, western North Carolina, north Georgia, Alabama, Nebraska.  G Major (most versions): D Major (Silberberg). Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Silberberg): AABB (Brody, Christeson, Phillips) or AABAACCB (Kuntz, Brody). A fairly wide-spread song/instrumental Guthrie Meade thinks the tune has some relation to "[[Buffalo Gals]]." Rosenbaum (1989) points out that the 78 RPM recording by Gid Tanner and the Skillet Lickers [http://www.bluegrassmessengers.com/gid-tanner-and-the-skillet-lickers--1926-.aspx] for Columbia was very influential, especially in Georgia (in fact, the melody is known as a north Georgia tune). His source, Georgian  Lawrence Eller, learned the tune/song from family tradition and Rosenbaum concludes (apparently on the strength of the floating verse about hanging Jefferson Davis) from this that the lyrics bespeak Unionist loyalties in parts of the southern Appalachians.

DANCE ALL NIGHT. AKA- "Dance All Night with a Bottle in Your Hand," "Danced All Night with a Bottle in My Hand," "Give the Fiddler a Dram (1)," "Give Me a Bottle of I Don't Know What." American, Song/Reel (cut time). USA: West Virginia, Virginia, western North Carolina, north Georgia, Alabama, Nebraska. G Major (most versions): D Major (Silberberg). Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Silberberg): AABB (Brody, Christeson, Phillips) or AABAACCB (Kuntz, Brody). A fairly wide-spread song/instrumental Guthrie Meade thinks the tune has some relation to "Buffalo Gals." Rosenbaum (1989) points out that the 78 RPM recording by Gid Tanner and the Skillet Lickers [1] for Columbia was very influential, especially in Georgia (in fact, the melody is known as a north Georgia tune). His source, Georgian Lawrence Eller, learned the tune/song from family tradition and Rosenbaum concludes (apparently on the strength of the floating verse about hanging Jefferson Davis) from this that the lyrics bespeak Unionist loyalties in parts of the southern Appalachians.

Dance All Night with a bottle in my hand,
Bottle in my hand, bottle in my hand;
Dance All Night with a bottle in my hand,
Just before day give the fiddler a dram.

I left my jawbone sittin' on a fence,
I ain't seen nothin' of my jawbone since;
Walked on home and didn't get along,
In come Sally with her big boots on.
('big boots', 'red dress' or 'blue dress')

Who's been here since I been gone?
Pretty little girl with the red dress on;
She took it off and I put it on,
In come Sally with her big boots on. ....[Kuntz]
Dance all night with a bottle in your hand,
Bottle in your hand, bottle in your hand,
Dance all night with a bottle in your hand,
As we to marching along.

We'll hang Jeff Davis from a sour apple tree,
Sour apple tree, sour apple tree,
Hang Jeff Davis from a sour apple tree,
As we go marching along.

Old Aunt Peggy, won't you fill 'em up again,
Fill 'em up again, fill 'em up again,
Old Aunt Peggy, won't you fill 'em up again,
As we go marching along. (Eller/Rosenbaum)
