Back to John of the Green Ye Cheshire Way
JOHN OF THE GREENY CHESHIRE WAY. English, Old Hornpipe (3/2 time). A Mixolydian. The melody was published by Daniel Wright in his Extraordinary Collection of Pleasant and Merry Humours (1713). The title was printed as "John of the Green, ye Cheshire Way," but looks at first glance like 'Greeny' instead of the separate words. An excerpt from this old-style hornpipe tune appears in John Offord's article "Lancashire and Cheshire Hornpipes" (English Dance and Song, Summer 1990, 52{2}). There are several tunes with the title "Jack of the Green," "John of the Green," "Jack on the Green" etc.
