Author's Notes:
Written for the tune Heddon's Mouth, by Paul Elliot, which has a cool minor B section for the hey. Any AABCC 40 bar tune will probably do.
Paul played the tune for me and said "but of course you couldn't use that for a contradance because of the extra B part, but I can't take it out because it's an important part of the tune". So I wrote this dance.
This dance is from American Country Dances On Line
