BUCKLEY'S FAVORITE (JIG) [2]. American, Reel. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABA. The melody is listed as a 'jig', referring not to the familiar 6/8 time Irish jig, but to a type of duple-time syncopated dance tune that was popular in the mid-to-latter 19th century. The term 'jig' may have been derived from its application to a solo dance, or may have associations to African-American origins. Howe categorizes them among the schottisches. The melody may derive its title from the Buckley family of minstrel performers (for more on, see note for "Dar's Sugar in the Gourd").

Printed source: Howe (1000 Jigs and Reels), c. 1867; p. 52.
