B Flat Major (Honeyman, Kerr, White): A Major (‘A’ part) & D Major (‘B’ part) {Brock}. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB (Honeyman, White): AA'BB (Kerr). The tune was published in several Scottish 19th century compilationas as "Jenkins' Hornpipe," beginning with Cameron's Selection of Violin Music (1859; p. 29). The "Washington's" title seems to have originated with William Bradbury Ryan. An early recording of the tune is by accordion player William McElligot in New York in 1934. McElligot was from Newcastle West, County Limerick, but spent most of his life in the United States.
