Name of a jig

Name of a jig

Hi folks, there's this tune in my mind, I just have the frist part and half the second part; I tried to search the session's database, but it was to no avail. It's a jig, and it goes like this
d | cAA BAA | cAA A2c | cAA BAB | AFD D2d |
| cAA BAA | cAA AGF | GFG BAB | AFD D2

e | fef gfg | afd CBA | fef gfg | afd dfg |

and there's four more bars ...

Can anyone help?

also commonly called An RĂ³gaire Dubh.

Re: Name of a jig

Just a side note to this tune name -
An rogaire dubh - the black rogue
It is unlikely that any racism is intended by the title as "fear dubh" in Irish is the devil - various other ways of saying the devil without mentioning his name are part of common tradition.

('fear gorm' - is the Irish for a black man)

What a great bunch ~ clarity is always welcome... The devil is in the details... ;-)

Re: Name of a jig

And gorm is blue, so coloured people are called blue people in Irish. Quite bizarre.

Could just be the ol' white knight, black knight thing but in this case a rogues gallery of colours? Blue, well, I like the colour blue too...
