BOBBING AROUND [1]. English, Morris Dance (. C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune was collected from musician John Mason of Stow-on-the-Wold, in 1909. Bayard (1981) says this is taken from a stage piece of the same name, something of a take-off on rural courtship. His Pennsylvania collected set (No. 402, p. 382) is similar in the 'A' part.

Printed source: Raven (English Country Dance Tunes), 1984; p. 148.
