You’ve had so much fun for so many years, Brendan! The tune is just right for a square dance. Otherwise it’s so simple a tune. It really is in G, though the double D tuning works well. I almost got tricked into thinking it modulates. If the A part was the B part it would make more sense IMO. Do you remember what tuning you used?

Hi Janet,
Yes, I think of it a G tune with a lòt of D chord in one part, but I can also hear it as having a part in G and a part in D that resolves to G; I guess it just depends on how you define the key of that part. I play it out of gDGBD tuning, but I could probably play it out of aDADE easily too, as I often do with tunes with one part in G and one part in D, like Red Fox, Tucker's Barn, or Upper Lehigh.
