Tune of the Day: The Humors of Ballydehob

Traditional Irish jig

This jig first appeared, under the title “The Green Forever”, in Ryan's Mammoth Collection, published in Boston in 1883. It was then printed as “The Humors of Ballydehob” in Francis O'Neill's Music of Ireland (Chicago, 1903).

Ballydehob (meaning “mouth of the two river fords”) is a coastal village in the southwest of County Cork, Ireland.
