Such A Gettin' Upstairs

Reel · 4/4 · D major

Such A Gettin' Upstairs is a traditional tune of uncertain exact origin that became popular as a minstrel song and dance in nineteenth-century America. Set in 4/4 time and the key of D major, it is typically played with a lively, rhythmic drive characteristic of early American fiddle tunes and dance music. Because its precise early history is obscure, it is best known through its widespread circulation in mid-nineteenth-century fiddle collections and theatrical repertoires.
