This jig was first printed by Nathaniel Gow in his Fifth Collection of Strathspeys, Reels, etc. (Edinburgh, 1809), where it is identified as “Irish”, although the fourth part is attributed to “Mr. Sharpe of Hoddam”, a Perthshire gentleman-amateur violinist.
The melody was notably popularized by Irish fiddle master Michael Coleman, who recorded it on Columbia records in 1921.
