Description: | Longer than and otherwise different from The Bonny Bay Mare and I, which occurs earlier in John Peacock's tune book (from which this version is copied). The (short) version usually played today is a composite of Peacock's two versions, but why he had two is a mystery. The tune was already old, having been recorded by William Dixon in 1733 as Adam A Bell. No versions are known outside Northumberland and Cumbria, and there is a local song to the tune. Peacock's and Dixon's versions are somewhat different, and both are excellent.The tune forms part of a Northumbrian small piper's tune book compiled by Lionel Winship. The book is now owned by Graham Wells who has researched its origins extensively. The book is dated Feb 14th, 1833 and many tunes of local interest, including some rare or unique hornpipes and other tunes.
