THERE WAS A LADY (Bhi Bean Uasal). AKA and see âDo Bhi Bean Uasal,â âThere Once Was a Young Lady.â Irish, Air (3/4 time). D Major/Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. The melody appears in Petrieâs 1855 collection, though in a different version than that which is still well-known today. Petrie offers some caustic comments in his introduction regarding the sobriety of the individual who wrote the verse in which the Kilkenny marble is mentioned.
