Drive Hawkie Through The Water
This reel is an old tune (18th century?) based on a song from the northeast about a cow called Hawkie who is adored by all and produces lots of milk, but hates crossing water. The tune is really simple and takes no time to learn, but it's one of those tunes you can't end. It's very addictive - give it a try!

Nice tune
Yeah, I like this. It shares a nice rhythmic similarity in the opening bar with Jack is Yet Alive (G). This might be a nice pair of tunes to add together into a set.
