Sugar Hill is believed to have been originally composed by George Washington Dixon sometime before 1827 and first published in 1855. In 19th-century slang, particularly in African American communities and minstrel-era songs, “Sugar Hill” could mean the party district or red-light area.
In rural communities “sugaring-off” was the music, dancing and drinking driven event for boiling sap into sugar. Sounds fun.
Lyrics were adopted and changed as the song was passed from region to region. Either way, Sugar Hill has come to represent a party. This is the Marrickville, NSW version.
The tune also appears in the Ozark Mountains fiddle tradition. It was listed in Vance Randolph’s 1954 compilation of Ozark fiddle tunes, and in that region it is sometimes played under the alternate title “Bunker Hill.”
Look, I know I'm rubbish at fiddle but it's fun
