Subject: RE: Native American Fiddle Music
"Off She Goes" is undoubtably not native American. Here's a copy from a book of mixed Scots and Irish, and a very few English tunes (this apparently being Scots). There's an earlier Scots copy (1789), but I don't have it.
[Campbell gave a different one of this title in his 19th book, but this is the only one that lasted.]
