aka "Nancy Rollin" or "Nancy Roland". Old-Time, breakdown fiddle tune and popular dance tune. Occasionally performed with floating and nonsensical lyrics
Had a little dog, his name was Rover,
When he died, he died all over.
I had a wife and she was a Quaker,
She wouldn't work and I wouldn't make her.
I had a wife and she was a weaver,
She wouldn't work, so I had to leave her. - Licensing
