Think this is a 'Donegal' tune. This is the version I got but there is a very similar tune called Father Fielding's Favourite in O'Neill's. Doesn't appear to be here though, which is strange as I would have thought that the entire O'Neill's collection was here?

Yes It`s Father Fieldings Favourite o.k. James or his source probably learned it from the 1949 recording on `78 made by Sean McGuire which enjoyed wide popularity .Sean recorded it after another jig from O`Neills-`The Four Courts`and The Malachy Sweeney ceili band also played them together.
