The melody was recorded in 1927 by fiddler Michael Gorman (County Sligo). Brendan Breathnach transcribed the reel in 1966 from the playing of fiddler Sonny McDonagh, of Bunanadden, Co. Sligo. Ed Reavy played a version he called "The Loughs of Cavan," and claimed authorship, although the melody clearly predates him.
