WORCESTER HORNPIPE. AKA - "Worcestershire Hornpipe." AKA and see “The Navy,” "Navvy (The)," “New Bridge Hornpipe," "Lakeside Road (The)," "Paddy Mack.” English, Hornpipe (whole or cut time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The melody was collected in 1907 by English folklorist Cecil Sharp (1859-1924) from fiddler John Mason (Stow-on-the-Wold, Gloucestershire). It appears in the music manuscripts of a few 19th century English musicians under the alternate titles, and as untitled hornpipes in Joshua Burnett's (South Yorkshire) c. 1835 ms. and John Nichol's (Northumberland) mid-19th century ms.. The tune migrated to the United States where versions entered the Irish music collections of Chief Francis O'Neill (Chicago) as "Lakeside Road (The)" and "Paddy Mack]]."
