"Boys of Blue Hill", in Gaelic "Buacailli Ua Cnoc-Gorm", also known as "Beaux of Oak Hill", "Boys of North Tyne", "Cape Giradeau", "Lads of North Tyne", "Silver Lake" (Pa.), "Jenny Baker", "Lonesome Katy", "Two Sisters" or "Twin Sisters" is an Irish reel or hornpipe in D Major. The parts are played AABB (most versions)or AA'B (Moylan).
In American tradition it is almost always played as a reel rather than a hornpipe.
In the 19th century it appears in publications such as Ryan's Mammoth Collection (1883) as "The Boys of Oak Hill" (by which title it also appears in one of the Scottish Kerr collections).
O'Neill said that the melody was unknown to Chicago Irish musicians when he made his collection.
