Transcription: by Darryl D. Bush
A popular and old English/Scottish country jig melody.
There is a Shetland reel known as "Da New Rigged Ship".
“New Rigged Ship” has been more popular in the United States in n both 6/8 and
reel-time setting of the melody, called "Green Willis" or "The Raw Recruit".
It has been printed in Gow (Strathspey Reels), 1784, Gow, A Second
Collection of Strathspey Reels, 2nd edition, 1803 and
Karpeles & Schofield (A Selection of 100 English Folk Dance Airs), 1951.
It has been recorded by Altan, Aly Bain, Dave Swarbrick and others.
I learned this one from print, I think from 1000 Fiddle Tunes.
