"The Trip to Sligo" also known as "Daugherty's Jig", "Lark in the Morning" (O’Neill),<br> "Road to Sligo", "Stealing Apples" and "When I Parted" is an Irish single jig in 6/8 time and<br> E Aeolian/Dorian. The parts are played AABB.<br> The melody was recorded in New York in 1927 (under the title “Daugherty’s”) by famed Sligo<br> fiddler Michael Coleman (1891-1945) as the first tune in a medley with “Tell Her I Am.”<br> The tune is derived from the Scottish "Tom come tickle me" from David Young’s MacFarlane<br> Manuscript (c. 1740). A version called "When I Parted" was included in a music manuscript<br> of Radcliffe, Lancashire, musician Ellis Knowles (c. 1847).<br> It was printed in<br> Brody's Fiddler’s Fakebook (1983),<br> Miller & Perron's Irish Traditional Fiddle Music, 2nd Edition (2006),<br> O'Neill (Krassen) (1976),<br> Phillips' Fiddlecase Tunebook: British Isles (1989),<br> Songer's Portland Collection (1997) and<br> Vallely's Learn to Play the Tin Whistle with the Armagh Pipers Club, vol. 2.<br> It was recorded by<br> The Chieftains on Chieftains 3 (1971),<br> Ken Perlman on Melodic Clawhammer Banjo,<br> Red Clay Ramblers on Hard Times (1981) and<br> Michael Coleman.<br>
