There is another version from “Country Dances from Colonial New York: James Alexander's Notebook, 1730”

A1   1-8 M1 hey with women
A2   1-8 W1 hey with men
B1   1-4 C1 "cross over 2 couples" skipping
     5-8 C1 lead to top and cast off 1 place
B2   1-8 C1 and C2 4 changes R&L 

Note that these latter instructions do not define the cross over 2 couples. Cold_and_Raw_or_Juice_of_Barley–036.mp3.zip Suggestion: Cross over and go down past 2 couples, then lead to top and cross and cast 1 place. Or cross, cast 1, cross, cast 1. (Latter quite demanding in time.)
