Old tune

The three-part version of this tune, published as "The Waterford Hornpipe" in one of the early 19th-century O'Farrell tunebooks, is older than the four-part version pubshed by Francis O'Neill as "O'Dwyer's." Three-part versions survived in Sliabh Luachra and in Donegal (see "An Gasur Mor" from Johnny Doherty). P.W. Joyce had it as "Prime's" in one of his books.
