KINGSBURY JIG. English, Jig. A version of "Oyster Girl (The)." The verse below was used as a mnemonic for the tune, according to Mike Yates (2002):
Saturday night I lost my wife, And where do you think I found her? Up in the moon, playing a tune, With all the girls around her.
See also note for "Saturday Night (2)."
