STACK THE RAGS (Cruac suas na ceirteaca). AKA and see “Leitrim Jig (1) (The).” Irish, French-Canadian; Single Jig (6/8 time). G Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. Francis O'Neill acknowledged in a letter to A.P. Graves that "the two notes in the penultimate bar are incorrectly printed" in his Music of Ireland (1903), a mistake he picked up from his source (either R.M. Levey or Elias Howe's publications). He corrected the mistake in his Dance Music of Ireland (1907)^[1].
