"Rigs o' Marlow", also known as "The Rakes of Mallow" is an English Morris Dance tune in various keys: A Major (Bacon), G Major (Mallinson) and C Major (Karpeles). It was originally Irish. This English Morris dance version of the old Irish tune "The Rakes of Mallow" was collected from the village of Headington, Oxfordshire, in England's Cotswolds. Cecil Sharp collected the dance on Boxing Day, 1899, during a visit to Headington on his first collecting trip and the next day took down the tune from the Headington musician, William 'Billy' Kimber Jr. (d. 1961). Kimber played the concertina and in his younger years danced as well and had the tunes to accompany the dances from his father.
It was used by Gustav Holst in his Six Morris Dance Tunes, Set 2.
It was printed in Bacon's The Morris Ring (1974), Karpeles & Schofield's A Selection of 100 English Folk Dance Airs (1951), Mallinson's Mally's Cotswold Morris Book, vol.2 (1988).
