OVER THE ROAD. American, March (2/4 time). USA, southwestern Pa. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune sounds Scottish to Bayard (1981), who thinks is could be a development of a once-popular tune called "You're Welcome Charlie Stewart" or perhaps a descendent of "Roy's Wife of Aldivalloch."

Source for notated version: Hoge MS. No. 15 (a fife MS. from southwestern Pa., 1944) [Bayard].

Printed sources: Bayard (Dance to the Fiddle), 1981; No. 236, p. 195.
