D Major (Alewine): G Major (Breathnach): F Major (McNulty). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Some slight similarities to version #1. Breathnach (1985) states the tune was 'probably an American composition', but he is in error for &quot;Bells of St. Louis&quot; is a setting of Scotsman John Lowe's composition "Archie Menzies", while the second strain is cognate with the first strain of James Hill's hornpipe &quot;The Hawk.&quot; (Hill was from Gateshead, England, near Newcastle).
