West Fork Gals

Polka · 2/4 · D major

West Fork Gals is a traditional American polka performed in 2/4 meter with a lively and upbeat character suited for old-time dance settings. The tune is typically played in D major with a driving rhythm that emphasizes the rhythmic foot-tapping style common in Appalachian fiddle traditions. Because its exact historical origins and composer are not definitively documented, musicians primarily know it as a regional staple passed down through oral tradition.
