"The Quaker" is an English morris dance tune in 4/4 time and G Major. The parts are played ABB. The tune and dance (a morris side-step and half hey) were collected from the village of Bampton, Oxfordshire, in England's Cotswolds. At beginning of the 20th century, when much morris material was collected, morris dancing in Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire was seldom still being performed, with the exception of that in the village of Bampton, kept alive largely by the enthusiasm of dancer and fiddler William "Jinky" Wells. Wells was recorded on 78 RPMs by the English Folk Dance and Song Society before he died. The tune was printed in Bacon's The Morris Ring (1974) and Mallinson's Mally’s Cotswold Morris Book (1988). It was recorded by Dexter et al on Over the Water (1993).
