SOUTHERN MELODY. American, Two-Step or Polka (2/4 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Cranford): AA’B (Perlman). The tune is always paired with “Polo March.” The tune, which sounds like a version of "I Don't Love Nobody (2)/I Don't Love Nobody (3)," was introduced to Cape Breton fiddling by Winston “Scotty” Fitzgerald.
