NIGGER JIM. AKA and see "Jimmy King." American, Reel. USA, southwestern Pa. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. Bayard thinks it sounds like an American minstrel song tune. The title is the same as the name of a main character in Mark Twain's "Huckleberry Finn."

Source for notated version: George Strosnider (elderly fiddler from Greene County, Pa., 1929) [Bayard].

Printed sources: Bayard (Dance to the Fiddle), 1981; No. 151A, p. 86.
