PISS ON THE GRASS. AKA and see "Nancy Dawson (1)." English, Country Dance Tune (6/8 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The melody was published under this title in a few of London publisher John Walsh's volumes, including Caledonian Country Dances (c. 1744) and Fourth Book of the Compleat Country Dancing-Master (1747, p. 202). However, the tune and dance instructions were first published by John Johnson in his A Choice Collection of 200 Favourite Country Dances, vol. 3 (London, 1744, p. 55). As "Piss on the Grass" the tune was entered into the c. 1810 music copybook collections of Lincolnshire musician Thomas Sands and Welsh musician Mary Richards (1781-1877).
