Comparison to the Playford version (1st to 10th editions)
	The verses are different - instead of the "USA" of the Playford version, this always uses the lead up and down twice as the verse.  Choruses two and three are switched, and moreover, the hey is split by a repeat of the verse.  I'm not exactly sure how the heys work, but they're at least somewhat like the Playford version.
	So, this dance is clearly very much a direct ancestor of the Playford version.
