Back to Bare-Footed Quaker (The)

BARE-FOOTED QUAKER, THE. English, Morris Dance Tune (6/8 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB, repeat five times. The morris dance and tune is from the village of Lichfield, Staffordshire, in England's Cotswolds. The title is thought to be a reference to the founder of the Quaker movement, George Fox. In 1651 (the year that John Playford published his English Dancing Master in London)), he was imprisoned in Derby Gaol, and upon his release he was "commanded by the Lord of a sudden to untie my shoes and put them off ... so I went down the streets crying with a loud voice 'woe unto the bloody City of Lichfield.'"
