HIGHLAND MARY [1]. English, Morris Dance Tune (4/4 time). G Major (Bacon-Longborough & Oddington versions, Mallinson): A Major (Bacon-Bampton version). Standard tuning. AB (Bacon): ABB, x4 (Bacon-Ascot under Wychwood version, Mallinson): AABB (Bacon-Oddington version). Similar versions have been collected from the villages of Ascot-under-Wychwood (Oxfordshire), Longborough (Gloucestershire), Oddington (Gloucestershire), and Bampton (Oxfordshire) in England's Cotswold's. A 1943 field recording of Bampton morris musician William 'Jinkey' Wells (1868-1953) exists of the elderly musician playing this tune and singing his own accompaniment with nonsense 'mouth-music' syllables.
