Transcription: by Darryl D. Bush
In Gaelic Aisling An Diabail, it is also known as "The Devil Among the Tailors".<br> Despite its occasional appearance in the South, it is mainly a <br> Northern tune in America. Sometimes thought to be of Irish origins,<br> it is actually a version of a Scottish reel, "The De'il Amang the<br> Tailors", and it appears in the Scottish Kerr collection Merry Meodies (vol. 4)<br> as “Devil’s Dream”.<br> The earliest American appearance of the tune as "Devil's Dream"<br> is in the music manuscript copybook of musician M.E. Eames,<br> frontispiece dated Aug. 22nd, 1859.<br> It has been recorded by The Chieftains, Jean Carignan, Steeleye Span<br> and many others<br> <br> I learned it originally from print.<br>
