The original provenance of this tune is in Québécois repertoire, where it was recorded in 1929 by Sotère Mongrain (fiddle) and Ida Mongrain (piano) under the title "Reel de St-Tite." The tune was also in Maritime fiddler Don Messer's "Down-East" repertoire, as Rambler's Hornpipe. The Old French title supposedly camed from a remark by an old Vermont fiddler who was asked its title and responded that it was "just an old French tune."
