A Tommy Peoples composition and one of my favorite jigs.

Grainne's

Djeanta's version on their Ready for the Storm cd uses c sharps in the fourth measures of the B part ( |ed^c d2 =c| ) and C part ( |fd^c def| ).

Leave it to master Tommy Peoples to compose a fiddle tune where it feels as though every note is on a different string....

I've heard many settings of this tune. The one I posted is from an album by Dolores Keane & John Faulkner titled "Broken Hearted I'll Wander." By the way, the rhythym of the first four notes in the sixth bar of the first part should look like the first four notes in the fifth bar of the first part. I'll see if I can fix that.

Here’s a version I learned that was referred to for a long time as simply, “that great three-part jig with all the accidentals that goes like this…” Will Harmon identified it for me and suggested I post it. Here ‘tis:
