I learned this one from a CD by Clarke Buehling and the Skirtlifters (Wait for the Wagon - Choice Music for the Banjo).

Love the sound of that banjo man. Make her sing so sweetly.

Levy doesn't give a pub date which is unusual because, if you zoom or view it as a PDF, it says "1863".

Usually, Levy gives the pub date if it's printed on the sheet music.

On the cover sheet, doesn't it say copyright 1860?

Comment by Paul Draper on May 1, 2017 at 3:48pm

Or is this something else?

You are right, Paul.  It's "1860" on the one you posted and I went back to see if it was different on Levy and one had no date and the other had "1860".  I read it wrong....somehow saw the "0" as a "3".

So..... we have 3 additional years to play it at re-enactments!

Nice, Paul....shades of "Black Brigade Camp Dance" in the A section.

I don't know that one. B section has some Harvest Home in it.

OMG, thanks- I was pulling my hair out trying to think what the B part was from.  Totally Harvest Home, imho!

I think it's a "family" of similar tunes.  Is that the term I'm looking for?  "Cliff Hornpipe" or "Ruby" is in that tune family and attributed (but not verified) to James Hill (1810s-?).  Wes, you might know that one.
