ONE EYED RILEY. American, Reel (cut time). USA, Kentucky. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. Source John Masters (1904-1986) learned the tune from a regionally influential African-American fiddler named Jim Booker. Booker was born in 1872 in Jessamine County, Ky., and played and recorded with the integrated band Taylor's Kentucky Boys and his own group, Booker Orchestra. The title is that of a well-known bawdy song, points out collector John Harrod; it is a traditional song of unknown authorship with a long history of oral transmission, sung by Oscar Brand (on his 1976 album "X") and others, but widespread. There are a number of title spelling variants and alternate titles (such as "Riley's Daughter"). Masters drops the last beat of the cadence at the end of each strain.
