The pain in my heart” (Uch nan oh! Is osna lar mo chliabh). Irish, Air (3/4 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part.

Charles Byrne, harper, born c. 1712, originally from County Leitrim. The sketch was drawn by Miss O'Reilly in vivo of Byrne playing at the O’Reilly residence, Scarva, Co. Down, in 1810.
