Jacky Tar

This is the tune I know as Jacky Tar. I find it on youtube played this way maybe a dozen times. There seems to be no other reasonable version here except as an AKA for The Cuckoo's Nest. While Cuckoo's Nest is somewhat similar it is not the same - IMHO.

Here are examples of the tune I know as The Cuckoos Nest

Of course this guy thinks Jacky Tar is Cuckoo's Nest

Maybe I should have called it Johny Asphalt

....and it's a hornpipe, not a reel.

Yes, it does seem to be a hornpipe

But, Jacky Tar still seems to be the more common name.
