Polly Put The Kettle On

Hornpipe · 4/4 · G major

Polly Put The Kettle On is a traditional English tune that first appeared in print during the early nineteenth century in nursery rhyme collections and instructional music books. Written in G major and structured as a hornpipe in 4/4 meter, the melody is lively, cheerful, and direct in character. Because the specific composer remains unknown, the tune has been preserved primarily through oral tradition and popular parlor publications.
