COUNTRY BUMPKIN. AKA - "Country Bumkin." AKA and see "Bab at the Bowster," "Babbity Bowster," "Old Country Bumpkin (The)," "Who Learned You to Dance and a Towdle." Scottish, Country Dance Tune (6/4 or 6/8 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part (Walsh): AA'BB'CC'. John Glen (1891) finds the earliest printing of the tune in Neil Stewart's 1761 A Collection of the Newest and Best Reels or Country Dances (p. 71), although John Walsh's publication (c. 1745) predates it. There are similarities to "Elsie Marley."

Printed sources: Walsh (Caledonian Country Dances), c. 1745; p. 85.
