A popular tune for those rare times that an E Major set is called for. Irish musician Karen Tweed calls the tune "Tom Trainor's" after the individual she learned it from.
Source for notated version: Northside fiddler Mike McDougall (1928-1982, Ingonish, Cape Breton) via fiddler Jerry Holland (Inverness, Cape Breton); the tune was untitled until fiddler Johnny Wilmot remembered that the tune had been played by Manitoba fiddler and composer Andy De Jarlis (see "Whiskey Before Breakfast").
