Transcription: by Darryl D. Bush
in Gaelic "Mo Muirnin 'Sa Codlad". Also known as "The Mummer’s" and
"My Darling's Asleep", it is a popular Irish session
tune; so much so, that it is sometimes seen as hackneyed,
and some call it "My Darling's a Sheep."
The first sound recording of "My Darling Asleep" was by
Dan Sullivan's Shamrock Band, in 1929. It has since been recorded by
The Dubliners, Sean Keane, Boys Of The Lough, Jay Ungar And Molly Mason
and many others.
It was printed in both O'Neill's Music of Ireland: 1850 Melodies (1903) and
Dance Music of Ireland: 1001 Gems (1907) and Williamson's English,
Welsh, Scottish and Irish Fiddle Tunes (1976).
This plays well in a medley with:
Miller's Maggot
Money in Both Pockets
both in this section.
I learned this at our Monday night jam and Williamson's book.
