"My Lady Winwood's Maggot" also known as "Nobody's Jig" is an English<br> country dance tune in cut time and G Major. <br> Maud Karpeles notes this tune, which dates to 1726 under this title<br> (although to 1686 as "Nobody's Jig"), can be used as an alternative<br> accompaniment to the Flamborough Sword Dance.<br> It was first published with the 'Winwood' title in John Young's<br> Third Volume of the Dancing Master (second edition) as a longways dance<br> "for as many as will." <br> A 'maggot' was another name for a dram, a unit of liquid measure, and also<br> meant a small thing of little consequence, or a plaything; from the Italian<br> magioletta. Maggots were latter 17th century longways country dances written<br> generally to triple-time tunes and often dedicated to a personage. <br> It was printed in Barnes's English Country Dance Tunes (1986),<br> Karpeles & Schofield's A Selection of 100 English Folk Dance Airs (1951)<br> and Sharp's Country Dance Tunes (1909).<br>
