The Maid in the Cherry Tree

A different tune, to my ears, than the "Maid in the Cherry Tree" posted here by Kenny some time ago. This is based on the version in O'Neill's and the playing of a fiddling friend of mine here in Helena.

The London Lasses

The reel that John Carty plays after "The Galway (or Galloway) Hornpipe" listed on his 2005 album "I Will if I Can" as "The Maid in the Cherry Tree" is also known as "The London Lasses"
