Arsène Jarry (1847-1930), a fiddler and shoemaker from Montreal, played a version of this reel he simply called "Vieux reel" (Old reel). He was recorded on wax cylinder in 1918 by Édouard-Zotique Massicotte, a folklorist colleague of Marius Barbeau. Here's the abc: X:14 T: 14. Vieux reel M: 2/2 L: 1/8 C: Arsène Jarry / Fonds Massicotte 1515 / 1918 K: D "A"d3B||:!segno!ADFA d2ef | {ga}gefd c/e/c d>B | ADFA Addf | agec d2dB | !

Also, the tune is not unlike the Scotch reel Bonny Lass of Ballantrae (in the key of F).
