HUMORS OF JUG, THE. AKA and see "McLean's Lamentation (1)," "Miss Smollet's Favorite." Irish, Pipe Jig (6/8 time). D Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCCDD. "Humours of Jug" can be found in Book 1 (p. 19) of the large mid-19th century music manuscript collection of County Cork cleric and uilleann piper wikipedia:James_Goodman_(musicologist) (1828-1896). Goodman also printed a versin called "Tumble the Jug," as did collector P.W. Joyce, but only the first strain of the two tunes is cognate. The remaining strains are melodically different, but similar in character. Another version, correspondent in the first two strains and similar in the latter two, was published in by Richard Fitzmaurice under the title "Miss Smollet's Favorite" in his New Collection of Irish Tunes (Edinburgh, 1807). A dorian mode setting of the first two strains is to be found in Frank Roche's Collection of Traditional Irish Music vol. 1 (1912, No. 76) as "McLean's Lamentation (1)."
