AKA Fasten the Leggin', an Irish jig I learned from Dale Russ in Seattle.You can add rolls or other ornamentation on the doted quarter notes.

Fasten The Leggin' (which I heard played during the Mrs Crotty Festival this year) must surely be the correct name for this tune. "Fasten The Leg In Her" is meaningless and is obviously a mis-hearing of the correct title.

LOL, I think Trevor's missed the double entendre here....

Capercaillie

This also seems to be the 'Humours of Corcaigh' recorded by Capercaillie in a set with PM Jimmy Pride and MacLeod's Farewell, although they play it in a higher key.
