Frieze Breeches?
This sounds like a version of The Frieze Breeches to me, played in a different key.

I Buried My Wife ?
Looks like "I Buried My Wife And Danced On Top Of Her", but "a string" lower, in which case, it' already listed.

Kenny's got it. Rodney Miller (US fiddler) recorded it in this key.

I Buried My Wife And Danced On Top Of Her - totally different
I found a very nice set of 3 jigs on youtube by Mick Maloney and friends.
I Buried My Wife And Danced On Her Grave
The Rambling Pitch Fork
The Hag at the Churn
Listen Here:

The last 2 tunes are as expected, the first is totally different from any version of the Buried Wife I've heard or could find.
I wrote it out as best I could. If anyone knows of another name for it that would be nice.

That's "An Tiocfaidh Tú Abhaile Liom": http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/1220 Well, Mick Moloney doesn't state that's "I buried my wife...." He just mentions it as another tune with a peculiar title.

That's it - Will You Come Home With Me?
Sure enough, Thanks so much. And, you're quite correct - he didn't mention it as a tune they would play, but simply that it was a favorite silly name for a tune they had played before.
The reason I concluded that it was Danced on Her Grave was that about 2 seconds before they begin playing the fiddler on the end says "I danced on her" - or so I believe after listening to it several times - I really wanted know the name that tune!
Again, thanks very much.

My pleasure. "I buried my wife..." and "Will you come home..." make a nice set. They are actually recorded together on Ronan Browne and Peter O'Loughlin's duet album: http://www.claddaghrecords.com/WWW/product.asp?pID=64&cID=17
