"Bourbon" is a pentatonic folk tune from the southern United States. It is in Long Meter 8.8.8.8. The tune title presumably refers to the aristocratic French family whose descendants included Henry IV, Phillip V and Charles III and after which a Kentucky county is named. The tune is very similar to "Supplication" and "Wicked Polly" in this section. It was included in Columbian Harmony (1825), where it was credited to Freeman Lewis (1780-1859) and set to "Twas on that Dark and Doleful Night", a text attributed to Isaac Watts. The tune appeared in several other nineteenth-century songbooks including Hauser's Hesperian Harp (1848), Lewis’ Beauties of Harmony (1814) and Carden's The Missouri Harmony (1820). It was printed in Jackson's Spiritual Folk-Songs of Early America (1937).
