PEGGY IS YOUR HEAD SICK? AKA and see "Mourne Mountains (1)," "Purty Girl (The)," "Bascadh Thomáis Mhic a' Bháird." Irish, Air (2/4 time). Ireland, County Louth. E Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. When played as a dance tune it is often called “Long Hills of Mourne (2) (The),” remarked George Petrie, although it does not appear to resemble the tune that usually goes by that name (which is also called “Old Bush (1) (The)”).
