Samuel Bayard (1981) sees the tune as having two separate
versions, a song air which is the elder and an instrumental air deriving from it.
It has been printed in
Kerr's Merry Melodies, vol. 1 and vol. 3,
O'Neill's Music of Ireland: 1850 Melodies (1903),
Cole's 1000 Fiddle Tunes (1940) and
Bayard's Dance to the Fiddle (1981) among others.
It has been recorded by Fennigs All Stars, Art Rosenbaum, The Chieftains and others.
I learned this from 1000 Fiddle Tunes.
