"The Congo Prince Jig", also known as "Camptown Hornpipe" or "Granny Will Your Dog Bite?" is an American dance tune in D Major. The parts are played AABB.
In 19th-century America, the jig was the name adopted for a form of step dancing developed by enslaved African-Americans and later adopted by minstrel show performers. Danced to five-string banjo or fiddle tunes in 2/2 or 2/4 time played at 120 - 144 bpm, the minstrel jig (also called the "straight jig" to distinguish it from Irish dances) was characterized by syncopated rhythm and eccentric movements.
It was printed in Briggs' Banjo Instructor (1855).
