 CHARMING MARY NEILL. Irish, Air (2/4 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. "Air and song probably from Donegal. There are other airs with this name." I am a bold undaunted youth, my name is John McCann, I'm a native of sweet Donegal convenient to Strabane; For the stealing of an heiress I lie in Lifford jail, And her father says he'll hang me for his daughter Mary Neill.
