WILL YOU COME HOME WITH ME? [1] (“An Tiocfaid tú a Baile Liom?” or “Tiocfaidh tú Abhaile Liom.”) AKA – “Won’t You come Home with Me?” AKA and see “Oh! Hag You Have Killed Me (1),” “Old Hag You Have Killed Me," "Top of the Morning (2).” Irish, Double Jig (6/8 time). G Major (Harker/Rafferty, Mitchell, O’Neill, Scanlon): D Mixolydian/G Major (Breathnach). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB (Harker/Rafferty, O’Neill, Scanlon): AA’BB (Mitchell): AA'BCD (Breathnach). P.W. Joyce (Ancient Irish Music, 1873) says: “This jig is universally known in Munster. In some places it is called ‘O, chailleach, do mharbhais me!’—‘O, hag, you have killed me!’” There is considerable variation among the versions listed, although the basic tune seems to follow two main variations (as, for example, represented by O’Neill; most variations seem to have elements of both). Petrie has one version of this tune (Stanford/Petrie, No. 1487) by this title from the famous Galway piper Paddy Conneely “and other pipers”, and Breathnach (1976) thinks perhaps the version he prints in CRE II derives from this strain. Boston music publisher Elias Howe printed a version of the jig in his 1000 Jigs and Reels (c. 1867) under the title "Top of the Morning (2)." Breathnach (1976) finds another setting in Stanford/Petrie (112), untitled, of the first two parts, with the wrong key signature given. This same version is reprinted by Joyce (1909, No. 833, who obtained it from the Pigot Manuscripts), who gives the correct key. Breathnach finds the tune related to “Oh hag you have killed me,” and that his fourth part is related to the second part of “Ask My Father.”
