This Dorian-mode jig is taken from Francis O'Neill's collection Dance Music of Ireland, published in Chicago in 1907. His source for the tune was accordion player Johnny O'Leary, from the Sliabh Luachra region of the Cork-Kerry border.
George Petrie (1855) had previously identified the melody as “a Munster jig”, and remarked that “it had a peculiar kind of dance”.
