ORIGINAL ONE-HORNED SHEEP, THE. Irish, Jig. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. O'Neill (1922) remarks: "An Irish song extolling the many good qualities of An sean caora adarcach in supplying drink, food, and clothing , to her owner, was sung to this air. No. 238 in O'Neill's Dance Music of Ireland is a sprightly variant" (See "Old Horned Sheep (The)", a distanced variant).
