WEST VIRGINIA GIRLS. Old Time, Breakdown. USA, West Virginia. A Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. May be related to a version of "Fire on the Mountain", said West Virginia fiddler Frank George, who thought it similar to a tune of that name played by his mentor, Jim Farthing.

Source for notated version: Henry Reed (Va.) via Alan Jabbour [Krassen]. Reed had no name for the tune.

Printed sources: Krassen (Appalachian Fiddle), 1973; p. 39.

Recorded sources: Document 8041, "The Hill Billies/Al Hopkins and His Buckle Busters: Complete Recorded Works in Chronological Order, vol. 3.”
