TIE THE BONNET ("Neasg an biread" or "Ceangal an boinead"). AKA and see "Cottage in the Grove (2) (The)," "Down with the Mail," "Faraway Wedding (1) (The)," "Gravel Walks (The)," "Gravelled Walks to Granny (The)," "Highland Man that Kissed His Grannie (1)," "In and Out the Harbor (1)," "Jenny Lace Your Tight," "Jenny Tie Your Bonnet," "Lassie Tie Your Bonnet," "Lizzie's Bonnet," "Rambler's Rest," "Upstairs in a Tent (2)." Irish, Reel (cut time). A Mixolydian (O'Neill/1903): A Dorian (O'Neill/1909). Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB (O'Neill/1850): AABB (Mulvihill, O'Neill/Krassen). “Gravel Walks (The) (to Granny)” is a related tune. The first strain of "Tie the Bonnet" is similar and perhaps cognate to the first strain of the old English reel "Haud the Lass Till I Come at Her" but the second strains differ.


Additional notes
Source for notated version : - Jim McElhone (Co. Derry) [Mulvihill]; Abram Sweetman Beamish, a native of the adjoining parish to that of Caheragh, County Cork, where Francis O’Neill was born--although O’Neill got seven tunes from Beamish, only the “Fairhaired Boy” and “Tie the Bonnet” were previously known to him despite their common place of origin [O’Neill].
