The country dances "The Haymakers," "Strip the Willow" and "Bab at the Bowser" are supposed to have the tune or form of "Pop Goes the Weasel." Does anyone know these dances?
The tune for "Pop" is listed as being published in "Gow's Repository," 1799-1820. This is before "Pop Goes the Weasel" appeared in 1850.
Any information would be appreciated.
