Back to Oh Mother a Hoop

OH! MOTHER A HOOP. English, Air (6/8 time) and Country Dance Tune. A Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. The melody appears under the same name in Wright's Country Dances. It was used in Cibber's Love in a Riddle (1729) and in several other ballad operas.

What a fine thing I have seen to-day, Oh! Mother a hoop! I must have one, you cannot say nay, Oh! Mother a hoop! For husbands are gotten this way, to be sure, Men's eyes and men's hearts they so neatly allure, Oh! Mother a hoop!
