Just the high part of a tune that has been rolling around in my head for years and randomly pops out when I'm whistling.
Anyone know what it is?
I hear a little bit of Pop Goes the Weasel and a little bit of a Metis tune I know as Yankee Four - but it's not either one. Hope that helps!
Don't know, but it would make a good lick for something like the second part, or an ending for "Jolly beggar man"? or something
This one is more fun...

I don't know, that's close but I've played that one many times (like the second one).

It's not on my tune list and I've played it in jams. I just sat down and played the whole thing but searching through tune lists could not come up with the name. If no one comes up with it today, I'll forward it to Marge Sume as she might know.
Oh thanks for another one to drive me crazy, Billy! Lol...I have one that runs through my head lots of times and don't know that one either...lol. That'll drive ya nuts. You could make a A part or B part (it sounds more like a B part) up and call it your own...but then somebody might figure out what it is...lol...or maybe it's your own. I have one that I KNOW I've heard and it rattles through my head and I have no idea what it is or even if mine is OT or not. Good luck figuring it out. You play it nicely...so...better get something to go with it and just play it!
Have you tried playing it to"Tunepal"
it works pretty good for Irish stuff

YES! I have even been kind wanting to roll into that coarse part but have been hesitant because it has hints of several G tunes (including Roscoe).
Thank you, thank you, thank you Carl and Marge (tell her we're even for the rosin suggestion 
)
If it is Roscoe you're thinking of, by coincidence I recently transcribed a version of it from Annie Staninec.
Roscoe
OF Course. Thats a good one.

Roscoe
It's 100% "Old Time Billy in the Lowground" I was thinking of.
I do like playing "Roscoe" though, mostly because part of it remind me of a three part tune a friend wrote. FWIW he is a bluegrass resonator guitar player and for sure never heard "Roscoe." At the time of him writing it I had never heard it.
