The first appearance of this jig is in R.M. Levey's Dance Music of Ireland, published in London in 1858. This collection listed the tune under the title “The Beer Drinker”, so perhaps the “go easy” admonition of the title (first found in O'Neill's 1903 collection Music of Ireland) refers to moderation in drinking.
