Take a look at http://www4.bnquebec.ca/musique_78trs/accueil.htm

Click on "Index des titres" and look for La Bastringue. There are two recordings from 1929 and 1930 but it's obviously earlier than that.

I have a tune called Villez Vous Danse in a manuscript dated around 1810 from Lancashire/Derbyshire which has the A music in 6/8 which others have mentioned.
