Anyone know the name for this lovely polka? It's the third in the set in the above clip.

Rhytmic mistake?
|/e/fg ed | - this bar consists of too many beats.
I think it should look like this:

Brilliant clip ~ thanks!!!
This one is familiar and I thought it was already here but I haven't yet found it. I haven't yet checked elsewhere but am off to the countryside for some rambling on foot. Here's a quick once through trying to match up my memory with your transcription and that lovely link which raised a smile as well as the irresistable drive to play along... I love it and will send this link out to cheer up others...
