Not quite straight out of O'Neil's, this is how I've come to play it. I make it third in a set after The Rose in the Garden and The Morning Star Reel. Despite the name co-incidence, it is NOT an alternate form of The Gravel Walk.

There are a lot of common things to other G major (pipe) reels, like Gibert Clancy's - Nice tune anyway!
