GIPPIE GET YOUR HAIRCUT. AKA - "Chippy/Tippie/Johnny/Hippie Get Your Hair Cut." AKA and see "If I had a Nickel." 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.

West Virginia fiddler Melvin Wine (who called the tune "If I had a Nickel") introduced the tune with the fragment:

If I had a nickel, and I had a dime,
Gippy get your hair cut, short like mine.

"Pineywoods Gal" has some similarities to "Gippie get Your Hair Cut" but it is not a cognate tune.
