POLL OF WAPPING HORNPIPE. English, Hornpipe. England, Yorkshrire. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. "Poll of Wapping" was a song by Charles Dibdin

Her father, he's a hearty dog,
Poll makes his flip, and serves his grog,
And never stints his measure;
She minds full well the house affairs,
She seldom drinks, and never swears;
And isn't that a pleasure?
