Hmmm... I really don't think the key is Adorian because of the F naturals which threw me off... Or am I right in choosing the current key as the actual key?

Looks to me like G Major. The last note is not a resolution, but just leads back into the repeat, where the tune resolves into G. The F naturals are just accidentals and aren't as important to the key signature as the F sharps that occur elsewhere.
If you were to think about accompanying, I think you'd use mostly G Major chords, with a few very brief C Major chords and an F Major in the measures containing the F naturals.

First Bar
I learnt the first line of this as c | GBBG GGcG | BGBd gdec | GBBG GGcG | A=FFA c2BA :|
I think it's more commonly heard in this form. I suspect it's original a pipe (GHB) tune originally in A mix, brought down to G for the fiddle.

Key
I'm quite sure the piece is (here) in G mixolydian. Main chords are G and F with C as the "third chord." I'd agree with the guess that the original was a pope tune brought down from the written A mixolydian (which sounds closer to Bb mixolydian, but that's another story isn't it
