Not to be confused with the hornpipe, MISS Galvin's (also here in The Session) - although a family resemblance is detectable. I learned it from concertina player, Micheál Ó Raghallaigh, on whose album, 'The Nervous Man', it appears.
The following setting appears in Ceol Rince na hEireann, Vol. 1:

|:(3ABc|d2 AG FEFD|GFGE FEFD|(3dcd AG FEFD|E2 e>e egfe|
(3ded AG FEFD|G3E F2 DA|d3e fdAG|FGEF D2 :|
(3ABc|dcde fefg|agab agfe|dcde f3g|(3agf (3gfe dcBA|
d3e fefg|agab agfe|dcde fdAG|(3FGA EF D2 :|

I play more or less Micheál Ó Raghallaigh's version, but I find that many of the triplets can be left out, and other triplets put in elsewhere. For example, the final bars of the A and B parts can be played as he more conventional hornpipe ending: F2D2D2
