"Wait for the Waggon", also known as Wait for the Wagon", "On the Wagon" or "Waiting for the Wagon" is an American song and dance tune which was adapted as an English country dance and march in F Major ('A' part) & C Major ('B' part) (Ford) or D Major (Callaghan). The parts are played AB (Ford) or AABB (Callaghan). It was originally an American black-face minstrel song tune first published in 1850 as a parlor song in New Orleans by William T. Mayo, who credited the lyric to "A Lady" with "music by Wiesenthal". The "waggon" spelling is unique to English use. It was adopted (tongue-in-cheek) in Britain as a military march by the Royal Corps of Transport. The tune was played by old fiddler William “Jinky” Wells, accompanist for the Bampton Morris Dancers, although it was not a traditional morris tune and is almost never heard played for morris dancing today. The version given here was transcribed from the playing of Jinky Wells. The Wait for the Waggon is a pub in Wyboston, Bedfordshire, UK. "Wait for the Waggon" was recorded from the playing of East Anglia publican (of the Dennington Bell) and melodeon player Dolly Curtis in the 1980’s on Who Owns the Game: Traditional Songs and Melodeon Tunes from Central Suffolk.
