"Old Mother Goose", also known as "Lep Up" or "Don't Leave Me Alone" is an Irish slip jig in G Major and 9/8 time. The parts are played AB. The melody appears as an untitled jig in the mid-19th century collections of John Clinton, P.M. Haverty, and R.M. Levey. Researcher Conor Ward found a version of the melody in Fleischmann's Sources of Irish Traditional Music, c. 1600-1855 , vol. 2 (1998), sourced to T.S. Cooke's (1782-1848) opera Mother Goose (c. 1810), which explains the title in Ryan's Mammoth Collection. The melody was used in the opera's Overture. Ward also finds the tune in the c. 1900 music manuscript collection of Larry Smyth, a fiddler from Abbeylara, County Longford, under the title "The Spree". It was printed in Cole's 1000 Fiddle Tunes (1940), Kennedy's Fiddler's Tune-Book: Slip Jigs and Waltzes (1999), Ryan's Mammoth Collection (1883) and White's Unique Collection (1896).
