This tune exists in two versions, one published in <<ddpub:Merrie Melodies, 1st Collection|Kerr's Collection of Merry Melodies>> and one popular in Cape Breton and published, e.g., in <<ddpub:Jerry Holland's Collection of Fiddle Tunes>>. The most notable difference between the two is that the A part of the Cape Breton version corresponds to the B part of the Kerr's version and vice versa.

Most if not all of the recordings of this tune are of the Cape Breton version.
