DERBYSHIRE MORRIS REEL. AKA and see "Winster Morris Reel" English, Morris Dance Tune (6/8 time). A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB (Sharp): AABB,AABB,A (Bacon). From the Derbyshire, England, region (east Midlands). The name Derby is Danish in origin, stemming from the Anglo-Saxon invasions of the Dark Ages, and means 'deer village' perhaps for the herds of deer found there (Matthews, 1972). The first part resembles the southwest-Pennsylvania collected "Mule Song."
