"The Rippling Water Jig" ~ AABB or BBAA or ~
There are many different ways with this tune, and it can begin with the A-part given here, or the B-part, and some folks will argue one way or the other. The varieties out there I suppose speak for its history, which inludes it finding its way into Old Time competitions. I've a few transcripts floating about and have seen others online. At 'The Fiddler's Companion" they have it the other way round. A slightly different transcript from that I've given below will be found on the site ~

"The Rippling Water Jig" ~ G & D or A & E
I'm feeling like I could use a nice hectic escape like A & E ~

25. Rippling Water Jig - This tune is popular in midwestern Canada. It is usually played with the parts in the opposite order, but I learned it from Joe Pancerzewski, who played them in this order. The second part is quite a workout for your little finger. I usually go to high B rather than A for those trills in the second half of the second part.

Teddy-boy plays it in...
Another nice jig I learned from the north. I first heard Teddy-Boy Houle, the Metis fiddler and stepdancer from Ebb and Flow, Manitoba, play this in E/A (as opposed to A/E), with the same order of parts, beginning on a high B. Around here and New England, I think the G/D version is most popular.
