RUFFLED DRAWERS. AKA and see "New Five Cents (1).” Old-Time, Breakdown. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. See also closely related tunes "Buffalo Nickel (2)" and “Robinson County.” This ditty was sung to the first strain of the tune (collected by John Hartford from fiddler Roy Acuff):
City gal she wears ruffled drawers, country gal she wears plain;
My gal she wears no drawers at all, but she gets there just the same.
When I saw her ruffled drawers, her ruffled drawers so fine,
When I saw her ruffled drawers, I knew I'd make her mine.
