Irish music collector P.W. Joyce writes that he learned this tune as a child in County Limerick during the 1840s. Around the same time, it was entered in the music manuscript collection of Manchester musician John Roose as “The Fireman's Jig”. Another early version of the tune can be found in uilleann piper and cleric James Goodman's mid-19th-century music manuscripts.
