Back to Down the Wagon Way (2)
DOWN THE WAGON WAY [2]. English, Country Dance Tune (4/4 time). England, Northumberland. D Minor/F Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Frank Kidson (1890) identifies this as a Northumbrian pipe tune which he had from a MS collection dated about 1816 "by some person residing at Darlington or in the north." There evidently was once a song called "Down the Wagon Way," which perhaps survives in the nursery couplet:
Clap your hands for daddy,
Coming down the wagon way;
A pocket full of money,
And a cart load of hay.
