"The Maid on the Green", in Gaelic "An Gearrchaile Ar An BhFaiche", also known as "The Maiden on the Green", "The Maids on the Green", "The Mountain Boy", "Patsy Touhey’s", and "Tom Greyhan’s" is an Irish (originally), English and Canadian double jig in G Major. The parts are played AAB (Raven), AABB (Allan, Brody, Cole, O'Neill, Perlman, Roche, Sweet) or AABBCC (Moylan). It is a popular jig played in Ireland, Scotland, Cape Breton and for American contra dancing. Bayard (1981) believes this tune to be a derivative of some original tune that also spawned "(Daniel) O'Connell's Welcome to Parliament", "Farewell to the Troubles of the World" and "The Night of the Fun". Cape Breton fiddlers sometimes call the tune "Trip to Dublin". Sliabh Luachra accordion player Johnny O'Leary's three-part tune consists of a different 'B' part inserted between the two parts found in O'Neill. The earliest sound recording of the jig was by uileann piper Patsy Touhey, recorded on a cylinder machine by Capt. Francis O'Neill in Chicago in the early years of the 20th century. A version by Touhey was issued on a 78rpm commercial disc in 1924, after Touhey’s death.
