Annotation:Dargle (The)

Back to 

 DARGLE, THE. The melody was used in the 1772 London stage production Irish Fair, which featured Irish and Scottish country dance tunes. It is a different piece than "The Dargle," a Dublin broadsheet ballad which begins "Come, haste to the wedding" and may have been a variant of that famous melody. See also the similarly-entitled "Waxies Dargle (The)."  Source for notated version:  Printed sources:  Recorded sources:
