This is one of a couple of untitled polkas to be found on Michael Tubridy's The Eagle's Whistle LP. On the sleeve he says:
"[These] three polka...were often played for the first four figures of the Plain Set. It was not usual for tunes to be played in groups as they are now - one tune sufficed for each figure of the set - occasionally one of the better or more adventurous musicians would change into a second tune in the middle of one of the longer figures."
The first polka in his set is
"Ballydesmond Polka No.3" http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/1410
The second is "The Lass of Gowrie" http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/1792
