X:1 T:Moonshine Kate C:Chris Haigh M:4/4 L:1/8 K:D Major N:It was thought that Fiddlin' John Carson wrote this tune for his daughter Rosa Lee N:Carson in 1927. They performed together as Fiddlin' John Carson and Moonshine Kate. N:However, it's impossible to find a recording of him playing this tune and N:that's because it was written by Chris Haigh in London, England and published in his N:book "Fiddling Around the World" 2001, ISBN-13 : 979-0579996002. He has also taught N:it at fiddle workshops, hence its popularity in sessions here in the UK. N:I've used the version by Tim Cotterell, Heather McAslan, Lindsey Oliver and James D Smith N:on YouTube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTP2HrKL7IU Z:Transcribed roughly by Jan Howard z4zDDE|:"D" F3 E F2 AF | "G" BAGF "A" E2 DE | "Bm" F2 FE F2 A2 |"A" (E4E) DDE | "D" F3 E F2 AF |"G" BAGF "A" E2 DE | "Bm" F2 FG"G"FD "A"E2 |1"D" (D4 D) A,DE :| 2 "D" D6 dc |: "D" dAFG A2 dc |"Bm" dAFG "A" A2 de | "D" fgfe dBAF | "A" (E4 E) DDE | "D" F3 E F2 AF |"G" BAGF "A" E2 DE | "Bm" F2 FG"G"FD "A"E2 |1 "D" (D4 D) cdc :|2 "D" D8 |]
