Different Tune, Same Name

Some of you who were searching for the tune by name, like I was, will find this a different tune than what you expected. If you search the tune database for Father O'Flynn, you will find another tune also called "Top of Cork Road," which is the tune I am familiar with.

Older than you think

This song is first published in England as the "Yorkshire Lasses" in 1789. The earliest Irish version stems from 1798. It is also widely known as "The Rollicking Irishman" and the famous song "Father O'Flynn".
