Transcription: by Darryl D. Bush
"All the Gals is Gone Away" is a reel in D. The parts are played ABB.<br> The tune is circular and ends on the 5th instead of the tonic. It is written in Bb<br> in Bayard's book. The tune is entirely in a pentatonic scale, the only one in<br> Bayard's huge collection. Bayard transcribed the tune from the playing of 69 year<br> old fiddler Hiram White (near Waynesburg, Greene County, Pa.) in the 1930's, who<br> sang these words with it: <br> All the gals is gone away <br> Down to the straw-pile ready for play. <br> All the gals is gone away <br> Fetch them back and make them stay. <br> It is printed in Bayard's Dance to the Fiddle (1981).<br>
