Transcription: by Darryl D. Bush
"Got a Little Home to Go To" is an American reel in cut time and A Minor. The parts are
played AA'. The second ending is extended by four measures.
This version of "Got a Little Home to go to/Little Home to go to" is from
southwestern Kentucky fiddler W.L. "Jake" Phelps (1885-1977), Pea Ridge, near Elkhart,
Todd County. Mr. Phelps was aged 88 at the time of his field recording in 1973 and had a
bit of trouble remembering the tune. However, with some encouragement by field recorder
Bruce Greene he was able to produce a creditable moderately paced version.
I have set this version in a livelier tempo.
It was printed in Clare Milliner & Walt Koken's Milliner-Koken Collection of American Fiddle
Tunes (2011).
