GOVERNOR KING'S MARCH. American, March (4/4 time). USA; New England, southwestern Pennsylvania. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. 'An old fifer's tune', remarked Samuel Bayard (1981). However, not exclusively, as Boston publisher Elias Howe included it in his Second Part of the Musician's Companion (1843) and Diamond School for the Violin (1861). See note (Bayard, 1944) for "annotation:Old Man and Old Woman Scoldin' (The)".
