That was the other title.It's called The Swaggering Jig in O'Neill's.Give Us A Drink Of Water is in O'Neill's too.I believe the confusion arose when The Bothy Band missnamed it on their album.
Damn it - I don't know the tune but managed to pull a 4/5 note phrase out of the tune and it was the only tune that came up when I searched for it. I was feeling right smug at first but the second part is not as repetative in Bill Harte's as this tune.
What is a Yellow Wattle? A note by Dow under the tune's Comments says it's a flowering bush ( or plant, or tree..) in Australia, but does it also mean something closer to Micho Russell's part of the world? (He liked the tune.)
Wattle. n.
a. A construction of poles intertwined with twigs, reeds, or branches, used for walls, fences, and roofs.
b. Material used for such construction.
2. A fleshy, wrinkled, often brightly colored fold of skin hanging from the neck or throat, characteristic of certain birds, such as chickens or turkeys, and some lizards.
3. Botany Any of various Australian trees or shrubs of the genus Acacia.

Re: Jig Quiz
The first is Give Us A Drink Of Water - presumably the same as The Swaggering Jig.

"Why they going that speed?"
Because they can or because they have had that many drinks that it seemed a good idea at the time.

Re: Jig Quiz
Yes the second one is The Yellow Wattle.Kevin Burke plays it after Dinny Delaney's on his album " If The Cap Fits "

Re: Jig Quiz
I'd guess it means the acacia, then.

Re: Jig Quiz
The plant is unknown in Ireland so my bet's on the turkeys.
