"No Man's Jig", also known as "Buttered Peas", "Reel of Stumpie" or<br> "Stumpie/Stumpey" is an English sword dance tune in 4/4 time and G Major.<br> It is related, at least structurally, to "Nobody's Jig" (also<br> known as "My Lady Winwood's Maggot"). Like "Nobody's Jig", it is in<br> a 2 or 4 count rhythm even though it is called a jig.<br> Traditionally it has been the tune for the last figure in the sword<br> dance from the area of Sleights, England.<br> It was printed in Karpeles & Schofield's A Selection of 100 English Folk<br> Dance Airs (1951), Raven's English Country Dance Tunes (1984) and<br> Thompson's Compleat Collection of 200 Favourite Country Dances, vol. 2 (1765).<br>
