Transcription: by Darryl D. Bush
"Fire-Fly" is an American reel in D Major. The parts are played AB.
It is possible this tune was associated with the stage production called
The Fire Fly, starring, at one time, the famous mid-19th century actress Lotta
Crabtree (who performed in it in Boston in 1868).
It was printed in Cole's 1000 Fiddle Tunes (1940) and
Ryan's Mammoth Collection (1883).
The version in Cole's 1000 is set in 1/16th notes. I have set it in 1/8th note for
easier reading.
