Annotation:Good-Bye Girls
Tune properties and standard notation
GOODBYE GIRLS. Old-Time. USA, Western N.C. D Major. An idiosyncratic tune from the playing of North Carolina fiddler Manco Sneed, a member of the Cherokee Indian tribe. He resided in Cherokee, N.C., in the Great Smoky Mountain region not far from Asheville, a town that is the administrative center of the Cherokee Indian Reservation. The 'A' part sounds similar to the folk-song "Leatherwing Bat" according to Mike Yates. "Goodbye Girls, I'm Going to Boston" is an unrelated tune with a similar title.
