Unfortunately, banjo-playing Jimmy had nothing to do with composing the tune, for it was printed by Boston music publisher Elias Howe a few years after Jimmy Clark's birth, as "[[Clark's Hornpipe (1)]]." It may be the editor Ryan may have added the "Jim" to the title in the banjo-playing minstrel's honor, or perhaps for some other reason. 
As "[[Clark's Hornpipe (1)]]" it is also in Irish repertory, having been picked up from Ryan's Mammoth by Francis O'Neill and included in his '''Music of Ireland''' (1903) and '''Dance Music of Ireland''' (1907). However, the tune's provenance is English, and is based on the 18th century composition of William Shield.
