This tunes is often played after The Banks of the Ilen. Both tunes are of Kerry/Cork origin and were recorded by Denis Murphy and Julia Clifford.
For me, the first five notes of this tune make it. I remember hearing it for the first time in Friel's pub, Milltown Malbay in 1999. By the time the next tune came around, it had dissolved into thin air (like tunes do), except those first five notes, which stayed lodged in my brain as firmly as a plastic Excalibur in a block of quick-set cement.
Tommy Peoples has a version with C-natural (D mixolydian), called The New Road.

I like the beginning DFEF better.

Sorry, that's what I meant. I've corrected the abc - ignore the sheet music.

The new road

The Chieftains
On the Chieftains' "Water From the Well" CD, track 8, 3rd tune in set, it sounds like they play this single (without repeats).
