Another setting
This setting comes from the Kane Sisters (can't remember if it's on the !st or 2nd CD, though...sorry!) Their version is basically the same, but their 2nd part is essentially G mixolydian, instead of G dorian as you have it here. I change the key in the 2nd part to one sharp, so as to avoid a slew of F sharp accidentals (I've often seen G mix tunes written out this way in various collections, so it's not without precedent).

Accidentals
my transcription has three sharps in the b part; yours has
three naturals. you changed the key, I didn't have to. I also don't have to read any accidentals on the beat, or in other places they shouldn't be.

Accidentals
You're missing my point, Earl. The version you posted doen't need to change keys in the "b" part because it stays in G dorian: the version from the Kane Sisters' CD goes to G mix. I wasn't criticizing your transcription, I was simply putting up a different version. Since you didn't put in any comments, where did you get your version from (just out of curiosity)?

I unfortunately don't have a single solid source for this tune, so I have made it my own in many ways. I am confused however about the key. You say it goes to Gmix but one sharp is G major.
which is D mixolydian, if that were the case. My sincere wish is for a solid version of this tune to replace all of the bad versions on the internet

Notation...
hey jaychoons,
The notation of your transcription didn't turn out as you wanted it to, I think. There's no key change in the second part and a load of B-flats there too.
