It's said in the Library of Congress that Henry Reed learned this from Quince Dillon, the fifer, and that it was a tune used by the British to retreat from their defeat in the Battle of New Orleans. Alan Jabbour recorded Henry Reed.

A great tune; I heard Alan and Ken do this in concert about a year ago. You do it fine justice, a haunting, nimble performance.
