DRUCKEN MOLL KNOX. AKA - "Drunken Moll Knox." English, Reel or Strathspey (whole time). England, Northumberland. G Major (Bruce & Stokoe): A Major (Cocks). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Merriam-Webster gives that drucken is a Scottish variant of 'drunken'. The tune was contained in the music manuscript collection of John Smith, dated 1752, which unfortunately is now lost. According to Northumbrian piper and researcher Matt Seattle, John Stokoe copied tune from Smith's ms. in 1887, five years after the publication of his Northumbrian Minstrelsy. The title in Smith's ms. is "Drunken Moll Knox."
