It was printed in Joyce's Old Irish Folk Music and Songs (1909). He states: "This was a great favourite as a dance tune and I learned it in boyhood from pipers and fiddlers".Joyce was born in 1827 in Glenosheen, Limerick, near the Cork border. O'Neill prints a variant under the title "Corney Drew's Hornpipe" and another variant can be found as "Teresa Halpin's Reel" in Frank Roche's first collection of traditional Irish music. |
