Transcription: by Darryl D. Bush
The title appears under the “John” title, but is more popularly known<br> as “Sean Ryan’s”. It is frequently paired with “Dennis Murphy’s Polka”.<br> In the movie Titanic it was paired with "Blarney Pilgrim" even though<br> that is a jig while this is a polka. The final phrase of the B part<br> is very similar to the final phrase of "Soldier's Joy".<br> It is also known as "The 40 Pound Float", "The Armagh Polka" and<br> "The Hills of Connemara".<br> It has been reorded by The Dubliners, Planxty, Gaelic Storm, <br> De Dannan and others.<br> I play this tune in medleys with:<br> Boys of Blue Hill in this section<br> Come Dance and Sing in the tunes section<br> Green Willis in the tunes section<br> Peg Ryan's Polka in this section <br> The Rose Tree in this section <br> Sheffield Hornpipe in the tunes section<br>
