None of the links given earlier in this thread worked for me, but I still get the impression that we are not talking about the tune "The Green Hills of Tyrol" that *I* know. This is a popular reel in Irish music circles, and is given in Henrik Norbeck's ABC collection as follows:

X: 1

T:Tripping down the Stairs
