BLUE EYES POLKA. American, Polka. A Major ('A' part) & E Major ('B' part). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Attributed to "Patradge" by Howe. The first part bears a general resemblance to "Navvie on the Line," "New London," "London Hornpipe [1]," and an unnamed hornpipe collected in Pennsylvania by Bayard (1981, No. 389, pg. 372). \

Printed source: Howe (1000 Jigs and Reels), c. 1867; p. 50.
