It's easy to mix these tunes up. I once stopped our session dead in it's tracks by calling "Old Favorite" and instead launching into "Kesh"...or was it the other way around?
Ah ... I think The Bothy Band were the first to call that tune "Give us a Drink of Water". I think they got the names mixed up, and called the tune that's actually called The Swaggering Jig by the watery name and vice versa.
Name of this well-known tune, please!

Hi!
Does anyone know the name of the second tune played in this set (from 1:35)
http://open.spotify.com/track/6p4M9xk1dc8Ql0zGn5zVK5
It's damn frustrating, 'cause I've heard it so many times at my local session, but can't put a name to it!
Please help me!

Who cares, though? Classic stuff!
