Not a bad set of dots for this tune.
The source of this tune is Henry Reed ... here is a less skeletal transcription right from his playing...

The high part of the tune is played first. Ive noticed that the low part is much more interesting in Henry Reed's version. BUt this often the case before these old tunes get "contra-fied"...
