Not "Go to the Devil and Shake Yourself" despite being so miss-named in Haverty's Three Hundred Irish Airs (New York, 1858) and Alday's Pocket Volume of Airs, Duets, Songs, Marches, etc. (Dublin, 1800). The jig is one of the earliest tunes compiler Francis O'Neill remembered hearing from his boyhood in County Cork. It is often played as a slide in County Kerry and Cork.
