Jenny Ran Away In The Mud In The Night

Source: Marcus Martin (1881-1974)

I've been experimenting with different cross-tuning. Here's a tune I wrote out in AEAE... Please do not attempt to play it on a fiddle tuned GDAE – it'll sound awful after the first line!

The title is a mondegreen of the first line of the lyrics:

Jenny ran away in the middle of the night,
Jenny ran away in the moonshine bright;
Jenny ran away, combing up her hair,
Jenny ran away with the jockey to the fair.
