O'Farrell (c. 1808) lists the tune as Irish. The "Love and Whiskey" title for the melody (long popular under the titles "Bob and Joan," "Bobbing Joan," and variants) comes from an 18th century Irish song in Wife of Two Husbands, a drama in five acts performed (not only overseas but) on the New York stage ("intersperced with songs, choruses, music and dances). The air is also used for the Irish "Courting in the Kitchen".
