"The Black Rogue", in Gaelic "An Rógaire dub/dubh" is also known as "The Bunch of Green Rushes", "The Bark is on the Swelling Shore", "Before I Was Married","O Pleasant was the Moon", "Paddy McNicholas'", "The Sack of Potatoes", "Shane Glas/Shaun Glas", "Sublime Was the Warning", "Shandrum Boggoon", "This Life is All Chequered", "'Tis a bit of a thing" or "What sounds can compare" is an Irish double jig in 6/8 time and G Major (Levey, O'Neill), D Mixolydian (Shields/Goodman) or D Major (Taylor). The parts are played AABB. The provenance for the tune is unclear. It is claimed by both Irish and Scots and it is widely known throughout Ireland. The "Black Rogue" title for the melody is derived from an old song still sung in Irish to the tune. The melody was included three times in the music manuscripts of Church of Ireland cleric James Goodman (1828-1896). Goodman was an Irish speaker and uilleann piper who collected in tradition in County Cork and elsewhere in Munster and who also gleaned tunes from other musicians' manuscripts and printed sources. O'Neill's setting is essentially the same as that given by late 18th/early 19th century piper O'Farrell, who included many Scottish melodies in his collection of Irish tunes. It was printed in Bulmer & Sharpley's Music from Ireland, vol. 2, Cranford's Jerry Holland: The Second Collection (2000) (appears as "An Rógaire Dubh"), Feldman & O'Doherty's The Northern Fiddler (1979) (appears as untitled jig), Flaherty's Trip to Sligo (1990), Giblin's Collection of Traditional Irish Dance Music (1928), Levey's Dance Music of Ireland, 2nd Collection (1873), McDermott's Allan's Irish Fiddler (c. 1920's), O'Brien's Jerry O'Brien's Accordion Instructor (1949), O'Farrell's National Irish Music for the Union Pipes (1804) (appears as "Rogue Erra Duff"), O'Neill's Music of Ireland: 1850 Melodies (1979), O'Neill's Dance Music of Ireland: 1001 Gems (1986), Russell's The Piper's Chair (1989), Ryan's Mammoth Collection (1883), Shields/Goodman's Tunes of the Munster Pipers (1998), Stanford/Petrie's Complete Collection (1905), Taylor's Music for the Sets: Yellow Book (1995).
