Burchenal indicates the tune was used for the dance called "Trip to Nahant," by which title the tune was apparently sometimes known (as is often the case with dances and accompanying tunes). 'Old Dominion' is the nickname for the state of Virginia, although the name 'Dominion' (without the adjective) properly refers to Canada.
