"Country Waltz", also known as "Old Country Waltz"
is a traditional waltz in D Major. It is well known in Canada, particularly in
Prince Edward Island and in some parts of the midwest US. The parts are played AA'BB'.
It was collected from Alvin Bernard (b. 1929, Long River, Prince Edward Island).
It was printed in Don Messer's Favorite Melodies (1950),
Brody's Fiddler's Fakebook (1983) and
Perlman's The Fiddle Music of Prince Edward Island (1996).
I learned this from our Monday night jam list but got the banjo tab from Ken Perlman
at a Midwest Banjo Camp.
It was recorded by Don Messer & His Islanders on Down East Dancin' with Don Messer
and his Islanders Vol. 1 (1953) and
Bob Holt on Got a Little Home to Go to (1998).
