TEXARKANA HORNPIPE. AKA and see "Hornpipe (49)," “Morning Fair,” "Poll of Wapping Hornpipe," “Tomorrow Morning.” American, Hornpipe (2/4 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part (Burchenal): AABB (Cole). Francis O'Neill included the tune in his Music of Ireland (1903) under the title "Tomorrow Morning." Less faithful, more distanced cognates can be found as "Morning Fair" and as County Leitrim musician Stephen Grier's untitled "Hornpipe (49)." All can be traced back to the ur melody "Poll of Wapping Hornpipe," composed for the British stage by William Reeve.
