Sleepy Maggie

Anyone have any info of this jig? I found it searching for the version of Bridge of Athlone by Frank Lee's Ceili Band, probably recorded in the 1930's. I did a search on irishtune.info, and found the first two measures transcribed on then did a google search, and found this. All it says, for the info about Sleepy Maggie, is that it was learned from Charlie Mulvihill, and I think it says it may be on the CD, Passing Time, with Jim and Mary Coogan. If anyone wants, here is the website,

I would appreciate more info, if anyone's heard of this jig, because I couldn't find any more information on it. Thanks.

I believe that it's been posted many times already to the Session.

Good tune, though.

Hold it. I take it back. This is a jig, isn't it? The Sleepy Maggie I'm familiar with is a reel.

So I haven't heard of it.
