I can't believe there's no comment on this fine little reel. It's been widely recorded and I've only ever heard it played double. Some play it in D.

The Honeymoon
I sometimes think this reel might be the G major version of The Swallow's Tail: http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/105 The two tunes share similar structures and phrases.
