LEAVE WELL ALONE. AKA and see "Golden Valley (The)." Irish, Slide (12/8 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. "Leave Well Alone", a Munster slide, has English and Irish antecedents as a "popular organ tune", as stated on the cover of a issue of Samuel Lover's song "When and Where," set to the air. The first stanza of Lover's song goes:
Oh! tell me when and where am I to meet with thee my fair?
Oh! tell me when and where am I to meet with thee;
I'll meet thee in the secret night,
When stars are beaming gentle light,
Enough for love, but not too bright
To tell who blushes there.
