A very common melody in Central Canada, named for the heel-toe step that is typically performed during the refrain.

The song appears to be a native Ukrainian melody which was brought to Canada by immigrants in the early 1900s. It seems unrelated, except in name, to the melody as played by American bands. See Arnia Strynadka's "The Uke-Cree Fiddler" essay inside "Aboriginal Music in Contemporary: Echoes and Exchanges" by Anna Hoefnagels & Beverley Diamond, pages 335-339.
