Back to Galway Reel (5) (The)
GALWAY REEL [5], THE. AKA and see "Roll Her on the Hill," "Roll Her on the Mountain." Irish, Reel. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB'. Kerr also prints a version of the tune under the title "Roll Her on the Hill" in his Merry Melodies collections, picked up by Francis O'Neill as "Roll Her on the Mountain." Some similarities in melodic contour to "Galway Reel (3) (The)" and "Rolling on the Ryegrass."
