FIG/FEG FOR A KISS [2], A. AKA and see "Dublin Boys (The)," "Dublin Streets," "Two in a Gig." Scottish, English; Jig (9/8 time). E Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. A distanced variant of "Fig for a Kiss (1) (A)." John Glen (1891) states the earliest appearance of the tune in print is in Robert Bremner's 1757 collection (appears as "A Feg for a Kiss"). Bremner's version is identical to that printed by Preston. Kennedy gives the alternate title "Two in a Gig."
