LAZY TROULLOUPE, THE. American, Jig (6/8 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The jig was entered into the 1858 music manuscript collection of M.E. Eames, who may have lived in Philadelphia (judging from some place names in the ms.). There were a few tunes that were entered into Eames' collection that also appear as contiguous tunes in Elias Howe's Musician's Omnibus Nos. 6 & 7 (Boston, 1880-1882) (see also "Gentleman Blacksmith (The)", "Billy's Fancy"), indicating that Eames and Howe had them from the same page in an earlier, as yet unknown, source.
