"Sail Away Ladies", also known as "Sail away Lady" or "Sail away Huldy" is an American reel in G Major. It is known in Kentucky, Tennessee and Missouri. The parts are played AB (Silberberg), ABB (Brody, Ford), AABB (Spadaro) and AABBCC (Phillips). The tune is melodically related to the numerous versions of "Sally Ann" and "Great Big Taters in Sandy Land" played in the keys of A and G Major. The earliest sound recordings of "Sail away Ladies" were by John L. "Uncle Bunt" Stevens (1926-without words) and Uncle Dave Macon (1927-with words). Paul Wells (Middle Tennessee State University) states that the song was collected around the turn of the 20th century and seems to have been common to both black and white traditions. Tom Paley (former New Lost City Ramblers member) believes the verses of “Sail away Ladies” to be typical floating verses. It was printed sources in Brody's Fiddler’s Fakebook (1983), Ford's Traditional Music in America (1940), Phillips' Traditional American Fiddle Tunes, vol. 1 (1994), Silberberg's Tunes I Learned at Tractor Tavern (2002), Songer and Curley's Portland Collection vol. 3 (2015) and Spadaro's 10 Cents a Dance (1980).
