Learned by Joyce in his boyhood and named after one Tom Curtan, a lame hodman whose lameness was accentuated when he carried his loaded hod. See also a variant given as an untitled square dance in Bayard (Dance to the Fiddle, 1981; No. 506, p. 461), and Bruce and Emmett's Civil War march "Mississippi."
