A lovely hornpipe, popular in sessions in my area.

I've not heard a 3-part setting before. I've heard it played with a 2nd part either like the B-part posted here, or like the C-part, or somewhere between the two. This is one of a large body of hornpipes which is known throughout Great Britain and Ireland, and despite its title, cannot be said to be 'from' any particular part thereof.

Irish players I have heard playing this tune, play bars 4, 12 (and, in theory, 20) as:

EDEF GBAG

This is a great tune! Very versatile tempo wise. Accompanying instruments may produce lush harmonies, moving bass lines and fill in substitution chords which sound wonderful at a slower tempo. This also sounds well at speeds approaching a reel.

Whoa! It has 3 parts?

Been playing it for years and never knew. Neither did the lady I learned it from who played it in Chicago for 30 years. Hmm...
