VIRGIN PULLETS. English, Reel. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). ABB. The melody was first published in John Young's Second Volume of the Dancing Master [1] (3rd edition), published in London in 1718. It also was published in Young's 4th edition of 1728, and Walsh and Hare's The Second Book of the Compleat Country Dancing-Master (1719). A pullet is a young hen, or perhaps a reference to young women or, derisively, to an opponent's cockfighting entry.
