BLACK AND THE GREY, THE. English, Jig. England, Northumberland. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Stokoe & Bruce): AABBCCDDEEFF (Peacock). The title, which is an English renaming of the Scottish melody "John Paterson's Mare," appears in Henry Robson's list of popular Northumbrian song and dance tunes, which he published c. 1800. The title comes from the first line of a song set to the melody (see note for "John Paterson's Mare"). A similar tune called "Black and All Black" appears in John Johnson's A Choice Collection of 200 Favourite Country Dances, vol. 6 (London, 1751). The titles "Black and Grey" and "Black and All Black" refer to racehorses.

Printed sources: Bruce & Stokoe (Northumbrian Minstrelsy), 1882; p. 188. Peacock (Peacock's Tunes), c. 1805/1980; No. 28, p. 11.
