"The Cottage by the Sea", also known as "The Red Headed Girl", "Picnic Romp", "The Night We Paid the Rent", "Jack of Diamonds" (Thede), "Hell on the Wabash", "Wake Up Susan" (first strain only) is an American reel known in southwestern Pa. in D Major. The parts are played AABB. Bayard (1944) states that the tune was fairly well known in western Pa. and seemed to be common in the South. It was collected from Mrs. Sarah Armstrong, (near) Derry, Pennsylvania on November 18, 1943 by Samuel Bayard. It was printed in Bayard's Hill Country Tunes (1944).
