DICKEY GOSSIP [2]. AKA and see "Dublin Hornpipe (3) (The)," "Jaunting Car." Scottish, Irish; Hornpipe. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The provenance of this tune is not certain, although the earliest printing found is in Edinburgh publisher John Anderson's Anderson's Budget of Strathspeys, Reels & Country Dances (c. 1820). It was published twice in Kerr's Merry Melodies (c. 1880's), with apparent Irish associations; in vol. 2 as "Jaunting Car", and vol. 4 as "Dublin Hornpipe (3) (The)." It also appears in Ryan's Mammoth Collection (1883) also as "Jaunting Car."
