This is a 6/4 tune written by Elaine Bradtke of Sound and Fury Morris and Sword. Besides the appeal of the triple time(for which I share a fondness akin to that for women who wear spectacles) it is an English-style tune from the US morris tradition. It was written for Liz Savage of S&F.
A tune by Chris Wood who had a duo with Andy Cutting for many years. Hipped to it (like many tunes lately) by John Spiers and his shed sessions.
From the manuscript book of the Welch family of Bosham, West Sussex, circa 1800. Heard it from John Spiers.
Here is Leveret's version:
And John Spiers's:
Reminded of this tune by Mick Phillips.

A tune from a blind fiddler James Knight of Yorkshire. From the Joshua Burnett’s MS, c1835.
A straight playing of it. I'll likely post a swingier one in a bit.
A tune from the 1710 edition of Playford.
