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)."
