This also appears on Paddy Moloney & Seán Potts' "Tin Whistles" album.

In the ceili(dh) band I play with, we play a back-to-front (i.e. A part = B part & vice-versa) version of this tune, called Major McKee, to accompany the Cumberland Square Eight.

Playing this on the mandolin yesterday where I rolled and tripleted it to death while watching TV. I put a little of that into the ABC's...

I forgot to remove a bar line...

But, as I'm repeating, here's how MH actually notated a couple of the parts, admitting I did a small amount of editing ~

A-part, bar 3 ~ (3dedd GBB ~ &
B-part, bars 1 & 3 ~ DFA (3ABAF ~
