Will You Come Down to Limerick
I know this as a three part tune, with some of the Fs played as naturals. I don't remember where I learned this, though it bears some resemblence to the setting in Krassen's O'Neill's.

Tim Collins has a nice version of this (as Kitty Come Down From Limerick" on his CD, "Dancing On Silver," where it comes after "Breathnach's," a gan ainm tune from the Breandán Breathnach collection, which he plays in A (up from the G in the collection).

Here it is roughly as Martin Hayes plays it on 'Under the Moon'. He fools around with the timing a bit, which gives it a lovely off-beat feel but which also makes it difficult to transcribe in one metre. To keep it all in one metre I've left off the first bar and tagged on a final bridging bar which is a dotted crotchet short. Seemed simpler than moving back and forward between 9/8 and 6/8.
T: Kitty Come Down To Limerick
M: 9/8
Q: 250
L: 1/8
R: slip jig
S:based on Martin Hayes' version from 'Under the Moon'.
