 GIVE US A DRINK OF WATER [2]. AKA and see "Drunken Gauger (1)," "Girls Take Care How You Marry," "Just at/in the height of her bloom," "Munster Rake (The)," "Noggin of Cream (The)," "Oh! The Marriage," "She was the Proud One," "Silly Old Man (The)," "Swaggering Jig (1) (The)," "Taim in Arrears," "Taim in Arreir dTigh an Oil," "Tiggit along the Room," "Welcome the Piper." Irish, Slip Jig. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. The tune was recorded under this title by The Bothy Band, and bears no relation to "Give Us a Drink of Water (1)." In fact, the titling of this tune (usually known nowadays as "The Swaggering Jig") appears idiosyncratic to the Bothy Band, and may be a mistake on the album notes.  Source for notated version:  Printed sources: Alewine (The Maid that Cut Off the Chicken's Lips), 1987; p. 19.  Recorded sources: Green Linnet SIF 3011, The Bothy Band - "1975."
