spellings), "The Hunter’s Hut", "Hunters’ House", "McGinely’s", "Reavey’s (again in various spellings)

It was composed by Ed Reavy (1897–1988), an Irish-American musician and composer of numerous
traditional Irish dance tunes. He was born in the townland of Barnagrove (or Barr na gCnó), Knappagh,
County Cavan. He emigrated to Philadelphia in 1912 where he settled in the Irish-American enclave of
Corktown (now part of Powelton Village). Except for two visits back to Ireland, he remained in the
Philadelphia area for the rest of his life.
