The tune is sourced to fiddler biography:Owen Chapman (1919-2002) of Chapman's Hollow, Canada, Pike County, southeastern Kentucky. The tune sounds like it might have British origins, and at least one reviewer has noticed similarities to "Dance to Your Daddy" and "Morpeth Rant (1) [1].

Old Baldy kickin' up behind and before;
