This tune can be found in Bulmer & Sharpley’s Music From Ireland Vol 1 P.23 No.62

Shouldn’t those C flats be C naturals?

aka. Joe Burke’s #2; The American jig

Pat Burke’s, X:3

This setting from Boston boxplayer Mike Reynolds. I would assume it came from Joe Burke. It’s a nice tune and we play it a fair amount.
