"The Virgin Queen", also known as "Riding a Mile", "Cummilum", "Is Cuma Liom", "I Don't Care", "Fairest Put on Awhile", "Mad Moll" or "Yellow Stockings" is an English air in 9/8 time and A Major. The parts are played AAB.
The title dates from 1703 when it appeared in the supplement to the 11th edition of Henry Playford's Dancing Master, it was retained through the 18th edition of 1728. The tune, however, had previously been published by Playford as "Mad Moll" in his 1698 edition of that work. Swift wrote a song, called "O My Kitten," to the tune. Philippe Varlet suggests that “The Virgin Queen” is the ancestor of the Irish melody "The Humors of Whiskey" and is related to the double jigs "Langstrom's Pony" and "The Mooncoin Jig".
It was printed in Barlow's Complete Country Dance Tunes from Playford's Dancing Master (1985), Chappell's Popular Music of the Olden Time (1859) and Playford's Dancing Master (1702).
The version shown here is from Chappell. I have changed the final note from G to A to resolve to the tonic.
