SÚISÍN BUIDHE, AN (The Yellow Blanket). AKA and see "Casadh an tSúgáin/Twisting of the Rope (1) (The)" (words only). Irish, Air (3/4 time). F Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. O'Sullivan (1983) notes the words of this song (sometimes known as "Súisín bán (An)") and of "Casadh an tSúgáin" have become "inextricably intertwined...so that it is almost impossible to say, in the case of any particular verse, whether it belongs to one song or the other."


Additional notes
Source for notated version : - the Irish collector Edward Bunting noted the melody from "P. Quin, Harper, 1806," according to the index of his 1840 collection.
