RUFFLED DRAWERS. AKA and see "New Five Cents (1).” Old-Time, Breakdown. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. See also related tune “Robinson County.” This ditty was sung to the first strain of the tune (collected by John Hartford from fiddler Roy Acuff):
City gal she wears ruffled drawers, country gal she wears plain;
My gal she wears no drawers at all, but she gets there just the same.
When I saw her ruffled drawers, her ruffled drawers so fine,
When I saw her ruffled drawers, I knew I'd make her mine.
