This seems like a glorified 'Humours of Tulla,' but it is definitely a more satisfying tune.

This is a great tune and I particulary like that few starting notes which are pivoted around the low D or G.
Its simple too. If you notice, the second part is the exact same as the first part only played on the higher octave.
I learned this tune as "Kilmaley" but when I found out that it was also called "Glen Allen" I began to call it that instead. The reason is because there is a rally driver from Tyrone called Glen Allen and I really like him. No other reason.
