"Too Young to Marry", also known as "Buffalo Nickel", "Cat Ate the Handsaw",<br> "Chinky Pin", "Crooked Stovepipe", "Darling Child", "Fourth of July",<br> "Grey-Eyed Cat", "Hair in the Butter", "I'm My Momma's Darling Child",<br> "Lead Out", "Liesel", "Love Somebody", "Midnight Serenade",<br> "My Love is but a Lassie Yet", "Old Mose", "Raymondville", "Richmond Blues",<br> "Soapsuds Over the Fence", "Sweet Sixteen", "Ten Nights in a Bar Room" or<br> "Yellow Eyed Cat" is an American reel in cut time and D Major. The parts are<br> played AABB. "Too Young to Marry" is one title for a reel widespread in the<br> upland South/Appalachian region and beyond as well. It has many titles and<br> variants, with the "Too Young to Marry" title being particularly associated with<br> western North Carolina/southwestern Virginia fiddlers such as Tommy Jarrell and<br> Oscar Jenkins. The tune is derived from the well-known Scottish reel "My Love<br> is but a Lassie Yet".<br> The standard notation is derived from the playing of Wicked Chicken (Huck Tritsch<br> and Gus Tritsch with Cameron DeWhitt).<br> The banjo notation is by John Letscher from the playing of Judy Hyman and<br> Bob Carlin on Banging and Sawing.<br> It was printed in<br> Brody's Fiddler’s Fakebook (1983),<br> Songer's Portland Collection (1997) and<br> Welling's Welling’s Hartford Collection (1976).<br> It was recorded by Cockerham, Jarrell and Jenkins on Down to the Cider Mill,<br> Clark Kessinger on Fiddler (appears as "Chinky Pin") and on<br> The Legend of Clark Kessinger (appears as "Chinky Pin"),<br> The Old Virginia Fiddlers on Rare Recordings (appears as "Midnight Serenade"),<br> Bob Carlin on Banging & Sawing (1985) and<br> Vivian Williams and Barbara Lamb on Twin Sisters (appears as "Fourth of July")<br> (1975).<br>
