"Up Jumped Jinny with Her Shirt Tail Torn", also known as "Phoebe Ice" is an<br> American air or reel in 4/4 time and G Major. It was known in West Virginia, Maryland and<br> southwestern Pa. The parts are played AB.<br> The "Phoebe Ice" version is a song air and fiddle tune associated with the Ice family of<br> Marion County, West Virginia. There is some indication the melody was regionally widespread.<br> Bayard (1981) thinks the tune an American original and could not trace it to Britain or<br> Ireland. He thinks relatives may perhaps be "Hell Amongst the Yearlings" and "Sugar in<br> My Coffee(-O)."<br> Samuel Bayard printed four versions of this tune including two different versions from<br> George Strosnider (an elderly fiddler from Greene County, Pa. in the 1930's).<br> Despite similarities in title, key and rhythmic structure, this tune and "Up Jumped Jinny<br> and She Run Like Hell" are melodically different.<br> It was printed in Bayard's Dance to the Fiddle (1981) and<br> Gifford's The Hammered Dulcimer: A History (2001).<br>
