SUSAN LICK THE LADLE. AKA and see "Darkey Under the Woodpile", "O Little Girl What Makes You Look So Clever", "Girl That Looks So Clever O!". American, Reel (4/4 time). USA, southwestern Pa. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The title begs comparison with the Scottish "Lick the Ladle, Sandy", though Bayard (1981) is not able to trace it to old country collections. He does note "some faint general likeness" to the British "Irish Hautboy (The)".
