Song / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Turkey in the Straw" is an American folk song that first gained popularity for fiddlers in the early 19th century. The melody is in a major key and in common time ( aka 4
4), tho' sometimes it has been scored in 2
4. In the age of Tin Pan Alley, "Turkey in the Straw" was transcribed and copyrighted in 1899 by Otto Bonnell (1855–1927), who transfered the copyright to Will Rossiter (1867–1954) in Chicago, who then assigned it in 1904 to Leo Feist in New York, who published it in the key of C.[upper-roman 1] Extant publications of earlier melody and form variations – under other titles and lyrics – have origins in Ireland, Scotland, and Canada. The earliest, "The Lee Rig," was published by James Oswald (1710–1769) in London around two hundred and fifty-four years ago (c. 1770).[upper-roman 2]
