The Piper on the Hob

I love this tune.Seamus, Ennis,amongst others considered this to be one of the oldest tunes in the Irish repertoire.The name is a probably a contraction.
of "The Piper on the Hob",a nickname for the House Cricket .

seems to be the way I've heard the opening bars, also the way the second part finishes seems to vary a good bit.
