 DO IT FAIR. Irish, Hop Jig (9/8 time). The melody appears in the (Alex) Sutherland music manuscript, from County Leitrim. Brian McNamara finds related tunes in the Goodman manuscript, "Surround (The)" (second part), and "Rogue is Mad to Be at Her (The)." The Northumbrian "Little Fishie" also has a similar second part. He believes "Hunting the Hare (2)" and "Whigsborough Hunt" are from the same family.
