FOOTY AGYEN THE WA'. AKA and see "Peacock's Fancy (1)." English, Country Dance Tune (6/8 time). England, Northumberland. E Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. The song "Footy" was sung to the air "Peacock's Fancy." It appears in the music manuscript book of Northumbrian musician John Bell (1783-1864). The words were considered vulgar in Victorian times, and so were not printed by Bruce & Stokoe (Northumbrian Minstrelsy, 1883) and others.
