"Kitty's Gone a-Milking", also known as "Kitty Goes a-Milking" or "Kitty is Gone a-Milking" is an Irish reel in cut or whole time and G Major. The parts are played AB (O'Malley, Tubridy), AAB (Harker/Rafferty, Stanford/Petrie), AABB (Mulvihill) or AABB' (Mitchell). A version appears (as "Kitty is Gone a-Milking") in the mid-19th century music manuscript collection of Canon James Goodman (County Cork). The tune was included in a three-tune medley recorded on a 78 RPM disk by County Meath fiddler Frank O'Higgins, featured on early Irish radio broadcasts. O’Higgins (1891-1975), a fiddler from Glenamona, Kilskeer, County Meath, recorded it in Dublin in 1938. He paired the tune with "The Merry Sisters" and "The Dogs Among the Bushes", a medley still widely played. The second strain of "Kitty's Gone a-Milking" is cognate with the second strain of "Repeal of the Union", It was printed in Bulmer & Sharpley's Music from Ireland (1974), Harker's 300 Tunes from Mike Rafferty (2005), Mitchell's Dance Music of Willie Clancy (1976), Mulvihill's 1st Collection (1986), O'Malley's Luke O'Malley's Collection of Irish Music, vol. 1 (1976), Stanford/Petrie's Complete Collection (1905) and Tubridy's Irish Traditional Music, Book Two (1999).
