WATSON’S HORNPIPE. English, Hornpipe. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The first strain is shared with “Miss Sackville’s Fancy”, printed in Glasgow by James Aird in 1785. The melody with a different second strain appears as an untitled hornpipe in the George Henry Watson (Swanton Abbott, Norfolk) music manuscript collection, c. 1850-80 (hence the name "Watson's Hornpipe"). Compare also with "Lishman's Second Hornpipe" which may have had a common ancestor, and with the first strain of "Saturday Night (6).
