Editor's Notes:
Tune: any 2-part (16-bar) slip jig, such as "The Peacock Follows the Hen", "Another Jig Will Do" or "A Fig for a Kiss".
This is a revision of the version written 9/1/94. See also the dance "Another Jig Will Do", which is somewhat easier.

This dance is from American Country Dances On Line
