The first appearance of this jig is found in Francis O'Neill's The Dance Music of Ireland, published in Chicago in 1907.
The tune was played by influential Cape Breton fiddler Angus Chisholm, which popularized the jig with musicians on the island, albeit altered to the Mixolydian mode (i.e., with all F's natural).
