My Mind Will Never Be Easy

This is the jig version of “My Mind Will Never Be Easy” that gets played in Cape Breton and Canadian provinces. Robert Stubbert passed it on to his daughter, Brenda (who recorded it in 1999 in C on “Some Tasty Tunes”: https://thesession.org/recordings/3617), who passed it on to Olivia Korkola (who recorded it in 2010 in G on “Playing in Traffic”: https://thesession.org/recordings/4325).
The title in Cape Breton is usually “My Mind Will Never Be Aisy”.

Did consider adding it as a setting of the slip jig version with a [M:6/8] inserted at the beginning but wasn’t sure which one to add it to:
