The title of this may have suggested romance, or perhaps something else altogether. It seems to be a cousin of the reel ‘Roll Her in the Ryegrass’. This is one of Jack Coen’s flute tunes which is from his old area near Woodford in Co. Galway. The tune came to me through the fiddle music of Patrick Ourceau who got it from Jack.
