Bayard's comments:

This air has all the hallmarks of having come directly from older British Isles tradition, but it has proved hard to find in old-country collections. However the tune called "The Reel of Malinavat". represented by O'Neil (Music of Ireland), No. 1316 ... definitely appears to be a form of this same composition ... The only piece known to me in American tradition that is unmistakenly a version of (this tune) is "Seely Simpkins" in Bruce-Emmett's The Drummer's and Fifer's Guide (1880) p. 78, ostensibly a fifer's tune.

Some phrases seem to be minor key versions of some phrases in "The Girl I Left Behind Me".
The title for this tune, collected from informant Walter Neal in Armstrong County, PA, was probably his own invention.
It was printed in Bayard's Dance to the Fiddle (1982).
