Tune properties and standard notation
HONEYCOMB ROCK, THE. AKA and see "McClellantown Hornpipe (The)." Old-Time, Breakdown. USA, Pennsylvania. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Bayard says this tune is a form of a British dance tune called "Push About the Jorum (1)," AKA "Rowan Tree (1) (The)," and "Rattle the Bottles." Bayard says it takes its name from some form of the associated rhyme:
I went to see the widda', and the widda' wasn't home;
I went to see her daughter, and she gave me honeycomb.
(Bayard, 1944).
