Description

Note from the arranger

This delightful waltz, while traditionally from Germany and Poland, was popular in the American West as well. While the tune has very disputed origins, it’s clear that use in Texas by fiddler Cotton Collins helped it morph this Polish Polish folk song into a Texas fiddle tune that Westphalia Texas claims as her own. It remained popular enough in Poland that Ignacy Podgorski recorded it for Columbia Records. It doesn’t matter who claims it: it’s a delightful, cheery little tune.

Skills needed are: 6ths in the right hand and three note chords in the left hand. There are no four note chords. Some fingerings are included to get you started.
