The Irish Traditional Music Archive (ITMA) is committed to providing free, universal access to the rich cultural tradition of Irish music, song and dance. If you’re able, we’d love for you to consider a donation. Any level of support will help us preserve and grow this tradition for future generations.
This one is an old song which was later made into a polka. It’s one I learned from an old-timey musician from New England, who told me not to write his name here in case he would be sued.
