Subject: RE: a mnemonic for the modes
I don't see where "Jockey Lay Up in the Hayloft" ever goes into C - looks like a G mixolydian tune that has acquired a few decorative F sharps over the years. I would guess it was originally a pipe tune for a mixolydian chanter and got the low D and the F sharps when fiddlers took it up.
