"Ally Croker", also known as "Ally Croaker", "Ally Crocker", "Alley Crocker", "Alas my Little Bag", "Hunters of Kentucky", "O! The Shamrock", "Reel des Bouchons", "Stick the Minister" or "Shamrock Cockade" is an Irish, Scottish, English, American and Canadian air, reel or country dance in D Major (most versions), B Flat Major (Haverty) or G Major (Thompson). The parts are played One part (Havety, Thompson), AB (Kerr's, Messer), ABB (Brody) or AABB (Miller & Perron, Sloanaker, Sweet). There was a song, written and music composed by Lawrence (Larry) Grogan of Johnstown Castle, County Wexford, who was renowned as a "gentleman piper" and composer of Irish airs. Grogan was the first performer on the improved version of the Irish pipes called the uilleann or Union pipes. In 1803 the air was wedded by George Colman to a song entitled "The Unfortunate Miss Bailey", and Thomas Moore used it for his lyric "O! The Shamrock". It was printed in Brody's Fiddler's Fakebook (1983), Campbell's 9th Book of New and Favorite Country Dances & Strathspey Reels (1795), Cole's 1000 Fiddle Tunes (1940), P.M.
