D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). ABB' (Moylan): AABB (Levey, Roche). The name Cork is derived from the Gaelic word coraigh, a swamp.

Most American versions were learned under a variety of alternate titles (the most popular being "Harvest Home"), with "Cork Hornpipe" appearing exclusively in Irish publications.
