Transcription: by Darryl D. Bush
Composed by New England country dance pianist Peter Barnes
(of the band Yankee Ingenuity) in 1976, inspired by the folktale
(or Child Ballad) of Fair Jenny, who clung to a faerie queen as
she shifted shapes until finally she won her husband’s freedom.
I learned this from Don Wisniewski's contradance collection.
