LASSES OF ST. BARRY'S, THE (Gearrchailí Naomh Barra). AKA and see "Lady Baird (2)," "Lady Baird's Strathspey." Irish, Reel. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. The tune is related to "Lady Baird's Strathspey" printed in Ryan's Mammoth Collection (1883). It is plausible that the Irish title is a miss-hearing of the original "Lady Baird" via its being called "Mrs. Baird", and then to "Lasses of St. Barry's."

Source for notated version: from the mid-19th century collector James Madigan (County Louth)[Breathnach].
