Bold John O'Leary

 BOLD JOHN O'LEARY (Seagan Dana Ua Laogaire). AKA and see "Wink of Her Eye [2]." Irish, Double Jig. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Some similarities to "My Darling Asleep." Perhaps there was an old ballad to this air, the appellation 'bold' often being given to outlaws and highwayman; however, to date I have not found one. Printed sources: O'Neill (Krassen), 1976; pg. 62. O'Neill (Music of Ireland: 1850 Melodies), 1903/1979; No. 1055, p. 199. O'Neill (Dance Music of Ireland: 1001 Gems), 1907/1986; No. 262, p. 58.
