This two-part tune appears as "Green Meadow Reel" in an early 20th century work called Allan's Irish Fiddler. A variant called Waynesboro is played in the US South (the most widespread version can be traced to a recording by Ed'in Hammons of Pocahonas County, West Virginia). The version most commonly played today outside the Canadian Maritimes has a third part, and is and usually referred to as Over the Moor to Maggie.
