OLD BLACK JOE [1]. English, Morris Dance Tune (6/8 time). D Major (Mallinson): B Flat Major (Bacon). Standard tuning (fiddle). ABB (x4), A (Mallinson): AABBBB (x4), A (Bacon). A version of the quite old and popular jig "Black Joke (1) (The)," collected from Badby, Northamptonshire, in England's Cotswolds. This Badby variation lacks the usual distinctive two measure ending commonly found in "Black Joke" versions. See note for "Annotation:Black Joke (1) (The)" for Kirkpatrick's opinion on the dance.
