"Farewell to Erin", in Gaelic "Slán le hÉireann" is also known as "Austin Tierney's",<br> "The Cherry Tree", "Down with the Tea Tacklings", "Farewell to Ireland", "The Flying Column" or<br> "The Maid in the Cherry Tree" in an Irish reel in D Major or Mixolydian. The tune is circular and<br> the parts are played AB with no repeats of the parts.<br> In O'Neill's Music of Ireland (1850) the tune is printed with one sharp (although this may<br> be a misprint) indicating the mixolydian mode. O'Neill's Dance Music of Ireland (1001 Gems),<br> has the melody in two sharps.<br> It was printed in O'Neill's Music of Ireland: 1850 Melodies (1903), O'Neill's Dance Music of<br> Ireland: 1001 Gems (1907) and Cole's 1000 Fiddle Tunes (1940).<br>
