"Don't You Cry My Honey" is an American song/reel in cut time and A Major. It is often played AEae fiddle tuning. The parts are played AABB. It is a reel with words, usually floating verses that don't have much lyric content.
It was recorded by the north Georgia group The Skillet Lickers in 1930. The words were sung intermittently while the band played the tune. The melody itself is a variant of a widespread song-tune known variously as "Take Me Back to Georgia", "Rattlesnake Bit the Baby" and other titles. The tune brings to mind the children's game song "Go In and Out the Windows".
The notation is an approximation of the The Skillet Lickers loose and improvisational style. They probably didn't play it exactly the same way twice.
It was printed in Clare Milliner & Walt Koken's Milliner-Koken Collection of American Fiddle Tunes (2011). It was recorded by The Skillet Lickers (1930)(78 single) and on Complete Recorded Works vol. 5 (2000).
