OLD GRANNY BLAIR. AKA and see "Old Molly Hare." Old-Time, Breakdown. USA, Kentucky. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. A variant of "Old Molly Hare." Source Estill Bingham (1899-1990) sang this ditty to the tune:

Old Granny Blair, what're you doing there?
Running through the cotton patch as fast as I can tear.
Legs like a deer and feet like a bear,
Running through the cotton patch as fast as I can tear.

The lyric is shared with Bascon Lamar Lunsford's version of "Old Granny Rattle-Trap (1)."

Source for notated version: Estill Bingham (Pineville, Bell County, Ky., c. 1986) [Titon].
