"Cindy", also known as "Cindy in the Summertime", "Cindy in the Meadows", "Get Along Home Cindy", "Cindy, Cindy" and other titles is a widely known frolic tune, appearing in many folk music collections and even old elementary school songbooks. The title appears in a list of traditional Ozark Mountain fiddle tunes compiled by musicologist/folklorist Vance Randolph, published in 1954, and was recorded for the Library of Congress in 1939 by Mississippi fiddler John Brown. According to John Lomax, the song originated in North Carolina. As with many folk songs, many verses are floaters from other songs, including "Old Joe Clark" and "Bile Em Cabbage Down". The tune is taken from the spiritual "The Gospel Train", also known as "Get on Board Little Children". It is printed in Pete Seeger's American Favorite Ballads, Alan Lomax's The Folk Songs of North America and John and Alan Lomax's Best Loved American Folk Songs.
