HOME WITH THE GIRLS IN THE MORNING. AKA - "Go Home with the Girls in the Morning." American, Reel (cut time). A Dorian (Reiner): D Dorian (Johnson, Songer). Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB (Johnson, Reiner): AABB' (Songer). The tune was in the repertoire of legendary fiddler J. Dedrick Harris, born in Tennessee, who played regularly with Bob Taylor while the latter was running for Governor of the state in the late 1800's. Harris moved to Western N.C. in the 1920's and influenced a generation of fiddlers there: Manco Sneed, Osey Helton, Bill Hensley, and Marcus Martin. Texas fiddler Bob Wills also played the tune, which Kentucky fiddler Owen “Snake” Chapman heard over the radio (see "Snake Chapman's Tune").
