H:that the town of Staines, on the Thames, had any connection with this tune.
N:Morris-dance tune.
N:There is much disagreement over which e's should be flat or natural. Older
N:books all show Eb throughout, but this could just be an result of using "proper"
N:classical notation. Current practice seems to be to play it mostly in Dorian
N:mode.
