A great tune that I'm guessing is from Donegal. Lots of bowed triplets and a driving rhythm make it great for the fiddle.

This tune is NOT Moll na Tiarna, despite what on the Altan album notes, but a companion tune called Mary o' the Wisp. The two tunes are very frequently played together in Donegal as the names come from an old folk-tale, where Mary o' the Wisp is the servant of Moll.
