TÁ MÉ I n-ÉAGMAIS ACH Í OCFADH MÉ FÓS (I'm in debt but I'll pay them yet). AKA and see "Dissipated Youth (2) (The), "Moll Roe (3)," "Stannish an Arrish," "Táim i n-Arréars," "Monks of the Screw (The)." Irish, Air (9/8 time). A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. No words have been found for this song-air. The alternate titles are variants of this melody, save for the "Dissipated Youth," which is the name Bunting affixed to the piece in his MS. He had previously printed a tune called "Dissipated Youth" in his 1796 collection but there is no connection between this melody and his earlier one.
