Quotes About Jigs

There was a Young Lady of Bute, Who played on a silver-gilt flute; She played several jigs, To her uncle's white pigs, That amusing Young Lady of Bute.
~ Edward Lear
Babcock knew no Southerners personally but he had seen them in court often enough...and Ed's manner and appearance said Dixie to him.

He saw them eating their yams and pralines and playing their fiddles and dancing their jigs and guffawing over coarse jokes and beating one another to death with agricultural implements.
~ Charles Portis
