*Notes: Our rendition in the MP3 above is in A major but many references show it also in G major, as in the video above.

The ABC above attributes the tune to Alistair Anderson, but it may be much older as mentioned in this comment by  on The Session: “I made some inquiries and was informed the tune has historical associations with James Gandsey (1767-1857), piper to the Barons Headley, whose estate was near Killarney.”
