"Sal's Got Mud Between Her Toes", also known as "Sally's got Mud between Her Toes" or<br> "Sallie's got Mud between Her Toes" is an American reel in cut time and D Major.<br> It is played in ADae or standard fiddle tuning. The parts are played ABBC or ABC<br> (Silberberg).<br> The tune is sourced to southern Kentucky fiddler Pat Kingery, whom collector<br> and fiddler Bruce Greene recorded in the field in 1976. On that recording Kingery did not<br> sing words, but later told Greene that these words were sung to the tune:<br> Here comes Sally down the road,<br> She's got mud between her toes,<br> Though her face is pretty as a pear,<br> She's got a yellow ribbon in her hair.<br> The banjo tablature is by John Letscher. His comment:<br> From the playing ofJoe Newberry.<br> Pat Kingery was known to never play the tune the same way twice.<br> It was printed in Silberberg's Tunes I Learned at Tractor Tavern (2002) and<br> Lamancusa's The Gettysburg Collection of Old-Time Fiddle Tunes (2021).<br> It was recorded by Bruce Greene & Hilary Dirlam on Fiddler's Dozen (1994),<br> Tarheel Hotshots on Young Fogies, vol. II (1995) and<br> Greg Clarke on Home Recordings - October 2001 (2001).<br>
