Three comments

From the playing of Danny Meehan via some session friends of mine.

This tune reminds me of "Some Say the Devil is Dead." Check Will’s transcription: https://thesession.org/tunes/1990/comments#comment39169

I’ve realised that this must be a reel version of The Whole Chicken In The Soup aka Maggie Pickens, both posted here.
