Pigtown Fling

I first learned this tune under this name with just the first and third (E-minor) parts many years ago. I don't remember where I got it, but it always sounded like an Irish piece to me. However, Charlie Poole recorded it as "Wild Horses" with the first, third, and fourth parts, and Ed Haley recorded all four parts in his inimitable style as "Wild Horse". The Skillet Lickers did a take on it under an offensive name, and many others also called it "Stony Point". Alan Jabbour had an interesting idea about those titles. One of the Generals at the Battle of the Brandywine (about 5 miles from our house) in the American Revolution was "Mad" Anthony Wayne, who also fought later in the battle at Stony Point, on the lower Hudson River. There he got the reputation as "The Wild Horse at Stony Point".
