BEGGARMAN, THE. Irish, March or Reel. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. &quot;In my Ancient Irish Music (pg. 45) there is a setting of this air: but the one I give here is much better&quot; (Joyce). Like Bunting's &quot;An Deirctheoir&quot; (The Beggar), this appears to be yet another version of &quot;The Little Beggarman,&quot; popular and common throughout the British Isles. See the related &quot;Duke of Aberdeen.&quot; Printed source: Joyce (Old Irish Folk Music and Songs), 1909; No. 732, p. 364.
