GUEST,Sean Belt Lyr Req: 'Little Dutch Girl' & 'Jump in the Well' (5) Lyr Req: 'Little Dutch Girl' & 'Jump in the Well' 05 Mar 15


Looking for some help if anyone can provide it. There are two mid-western fiddle tunes that I understand have lyrics to them, but I'm darned if I can find them anywhere. One is "Little Dutch Girl", a Missouri tune from down around the Cape Girardeau/Dutchtown area. My recollection is that Marion Thede's book mentions that there are lyrics, but doesn't print them.

The other I'm looking for is "Jump in the Well My Pretty Little Miss", an Illinois tune. I've heard that the late, great fiddler Garry Harrison had lyrics to this, but I've not been able to get ahold of them.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
