Sounds quite a lot like 'Sweet Jenny Jones'/'Cadair Idris' to me?

 

Here's some ABC from Paul Hardy's Session Tune Book - slightly edited for my own purposes:

There's several versions floating around, including one called 'Grace Darling' in the VMP canon:

Definitely “Sweet Jenny Jones,” Morris dance from Adderbury. (I’m sure you knew that, Roger.)

Yup! I know it, though primarily as a tune from Wales by John Parry. He had a son - John Orlando Parry who was also a musician, and there is an earlier John Parry Ddall who was a harpist/composer. Confusing - more so because these guys sometimes have Welsh 'bardic' names, as well as their 'straight moniker'...
