SNOUTS AND EARS OF AMERICA, THE. American, Reel. USA, Pennsylvania. D Major. Standard. AABB. Bayard (1944) knew of only this version of the tune but noted that it was possible it was the a derivative of the familiar jig "The Irish Washerwoman" recast in 4/4 time, and with the order of parts reversed. Editorializing, he thought it made a distinct improvement on the suspected original melody. Breathnach (1976) also noted the similarity.
