KERRYMAN'S DAUGHTER [1], THE. AKA and see "Cunningham's Fancy," "Fisherman's Lilt (1),""Funny Eye," "You're Right My Love," "Molly What Ails You?" "Pretty Girls of the Village (1) (The)," "Lady Mary Lindsay," "Michael Coleman's Dream," "Siege of Ennis (1) (The)." Irish, Reel. C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Armagh Pipers): AABB (Brody, Miller & Perron, O'Neill/Krassen). The tune was famously recorded under this title by County Sligo fiddle great Michael Coleman (1891-1945), in New York in 1927, paired with "Bird in the Tree (The)." It is also set as a polka and is familiar as part of the ceili dance "Siege of Ennis (1) (The)." The 'B' part is melodically similar to "Billy in the Lowground (1)." See also the related (in the second parts) "Old John's Jig."
