The tune bears some resemblance to an "obscure piping version" of "Johnny Cope." According to Alan Feldman, the 'B' part of the F. George tune has some phrases which are reminiscent of the last part of the Irish 6-part tune, as well as some affinity to Scottish versions. General Johnny Cope led the English forces routed by the Scots at the battle of Prestonpans, prior to their subsequent defeat at Culloden.
