"Out on the Ocean", in Gaelic ("Amac air an fairge" or "Amuig ar an fairge", also known as "Banks of Ahasnagh", "The Bucks of Ahasnagh", "Crossing the Bogs", "Mick Mulcahy's", "Over the Sea", "O'Connell's Jig on the Top of Mount Everest", "The Portroe", "Split the Whisker" or "Tierney's Jig" is an Irish double jig in G Major. The parts are played AAB (Silberberg), AABB (Mallinson, Martin & Hughes, O'Neill), AABB' (Tubridy) or AA'BB' (Harker/Rafferty, Songer). It is a popular session jig. The melody was collected by Irish collector George Petrie in the mid-19th century under the title "The Bucks of Ahasnagh". Francis O'Neill learned the tune from an accomplished West Clare flute player (and Chicago police patrolman) named Patrick "Big Pat" O'Mahony. While the jig is almost always played in G major in modern sessions, the Boys of the Lough recorded it in A major on their 1988 album Sweet Rural Shade. It was printed in Flaherty's Trip to Windsor (1990), Harker's 300 Tunes from Mike Rafferty (2005), Mallinson's 100 Essential (1995), Martin & Hughes' Ho-ro-gheallaidh (1990), Mulvihill's 1st Collection (1986), O'Malley's Luke O'Malley's Collection of Irish Music, vol. 1 (1976), O'Neill's Music of Ireland: 1850 Melodies (1903), O'Neill's Dance Music of Ireland: 1001 Gems (1907), Peoples' Fifty Irish Fiddle Tunes (1986), Silberberg's Tunes I Learned at Tractor Tavern (2002), Songer's Portland Collection (1997) and Tubridy's Irish Traditional Music, Book Two (1999).
