Levey – First Collection of the Dance Music of Ireland (1858, No. 45, p. 18) N:”This is the only Tune I have at all interfered with. I had it played by N:three different Fiddlers, and they all persisted in ending in the Major N:Key. viz: making the C in the last bar Sharp. They were unanimous N:in upholding the version, and when I played it as it is now set, ending N:Minor, they were very much shocked. And I confess I make the change N:unwillingly, but at the suggestion of friends to whom I “could not choose” N:but submit.” Z:AK/Fiddler’s Companion K:Amin (A/G/)|EAA ABc|edB cBA|BGG dGG|Bdc BAG| EAA ABc|edc g2e|edc Bcd|ecA A2:|| ^f|ge^f g2a|ge^f (g2c)|BGG dGG|Bdc BAG| ge^f (g2a)|ge^f g2f|edc Bcd|ecA A2^f| ge^f (g2a)|ge^f g2c|BGG dGG|Bdc BAG| EAA ABc|edc (g2e)|edc Bcd|ecA A2||
