This Irish jig first appears under the title “The Wink of Her Eye” in Ryan's Mammoth Collection, published in Boston in 1883. The title “Bold John O'Leary”, found in Francis O'Neill's Music of Ireland (Chicago, 1903), probably comes from an old ballad that had been set to the tune, as the appellation “bold” was traditionally reserved to outlaws.
