Notation
Note: The tunes below are recorded in what
is called “abc notation.” They
can easily be converted to standard musical notation via highlighting with
your cursor starting at “X:1” through to the end of the abc’s, then
“cutting-and-pasting” the highlighted notation into one of the many abc
conversion programs available, or at concertina.net’s incredibly handy “ABC
Convert-A-Matic” at http://www.concertina.net/tunes_convert.html **Please note that the abc’s in the Fiddler’s
Companion work fine in most abc conversion programs. For example, I use
abc2win and abcNavigator 2 with no problems whatsoever with direct
cut-and-pasting. However, due to an anomaly of the html, pasting the abc’s
into the concertina.net converter results in double-spacing. For
concertina.net’s conversion program to work you must remove the spaces
between all the lines of abc notation after pasting, so that they are
single-spaced, with no intervening blank lines. This being done, the F/C
abc’s will convert to standard notation nicely. Or, get a copy of
abcNavigator 2 – its well worth it.

FARMER HAD A DOG. AKA and see "Too
Young to Marry [1]," "My Love Is/She's but a
Lassie Yet [1]," "Chinky Pin."
American, Reel. D Major. ADae tuning. AB. Bronner (1987) states that this tune
may have some ties with the play‑party tune "Bingo" (from the
opening line "There was a farmer who had a dog"), but the melody of
that simple tune bears little resemblance to the one he collected from Kouf.
Kouf's father, from whom he learned the tune, may have elaborated
"Bingo" for use as a dance tune, but at any rate the tune was known
among Tompkins County, New York, fiddlers of Kouf younger's generation by the
title "Farmer Had a Dog." Bronner connects the tune with the "Mason's Apron"/"Wake Up Susan" family of tunes. Source

FARMER HAYES (Feilmoir Ui Aeda). AKA and see "A Fig For All My Foes,"

Paudheen Rue” is a cognate tune, according to Francis O’Neill, who thought
they came from a common origin, along with “McKenna’s
Dream,” “Raking
Red-haired Pat,” and “The Bold
Undaunted Fox.” O'Neill (O’Neill’s

Reel. D Major. Standard tuning. AAB (Miller & Perron): AABB’ (O’Malley). A
very popular session tune. Brendan Breathnach (1963) remarks that it has been
said that the Farrell O’Gara of the title was Lord Moy O’Gara who gave shelter
to the Four Masters. A Scottish variant goes by the title “Last Night’s Fun” in
Kerr’s Merry Melodies (c. 1886)—the same tune and title is printed in Ryan’s Mammoth Collection (1883) along
with the variants “Old Joe Sife’s” and “Pretty Jane.” “Farrell O’Gara” was
recorded several times during the 78 RPM era by the great New York City based
Sligo fiddlers: Michael Coleman recorded it in 1927 (paired with “Good Morning
to Your Nightcap”), James Morrison under the title “Roderick,” and Paddy
Killoran as “Shannon’s Favorite.” See also the recording below by John McGrath,
who emigrated to the

Irish, Double Jig. G Major. Standard tuning. AAB (Tubridy): AABB (Allan,
Harker/Rafferty, Mallinson, Mulvihill, O’Neill): AA’BB’ (Kennedy, Mitchell).
The curious title variant “Fasten the Leg in Her,” often used since the melody
appeared in O’Neill’s under that title, is perhaps a reference to horse racing,
but may also be a garbled version (or vice versa) of “Fasten the Wig on Her” or
perhaps “Fasten the Legging” (referring to an article of clothing). Of course,
it may be a double entendre title. The tune was once very popular, and was
recorded by famed Irish-American piper Patsy Tuohey on a cylinder in 1919, and
in the 78 RPM era by County Sligo fiddler Michael Coleman (1891-1945) in New
York (c. 1924). Sources for notated versions: piper Willie Clancy (1918-1973,

(Cranford/Holland). Composed by the late Ingonish, northside Cape Breton,
fiddler Mike MacDougall (Ingonish, Cape Breton, 1928-1982). Barry Shears
says Father Eugene Morris is a noted step-dancer. Cape North is at the northernmost

FATHER FIELDING’S
FAVORITE (Roga An {T-}Atar
Fielding/Fitceallaig). AKA and see "Ella Rosenberg,"
"I'll Tell My Mammy," “Katie’s Donkey.” Irish, Double Jig. G Major.
Standard tuning. AABB (Harker/Rafferty, O’Neill): AA’BB’ (Connolly &
Martin). Named in honor of Fr. James K. Fielding of Kilkenny, a friend of
compiler Captain Francis O’Neill’s in Chicago, who, like O’Neill, played the
flute and was interested in preserving traditional Irish music. Fielding was
also a Gaelic League activist and believed in ‘Ireland for the Irish.’ The
original title of the tune was “Ella Rosenberg,” found in Mooney’s History of Ireland—this title is the
name of a melodrama in two acts by William Kenney, written in 1807. O’Neill
(1910) says that Fielding was so taken by the tune, and promoted it so
enthusiastically, that it became known as “Father Fielding’s Favorite.” O’Neill
says: “His Reverence induced the good sisters of the parish to teach it to
their most promising music pupils, while he cheerfully accompanied them on the
flute.” The title “Katie’s Donkey” comes from flute player Mike Rafferty, who identified
it as an old Ballinakill (County Galway) tune, but who couldn’t find a title
for it and so named it after a woman who owned a donkey near Loughrea (Harker,
2005). Fiddler Seán Maguire (accompanied by pianist Eileen Lane) recorded the
melody on a 78 RPM in the late 1950’s. Source for notated version: New Jersey
flute player Mike Rafferty, born in Ballinakill, Co. Galway, in 1926 [Harker].

He had been playing with a group of local musicians when they joked
about what would happen when they reached the end of O’Neill’s
1001 Tunes. So, PJ half-joked that they could write their own. They
all agreed to meet up the following week with their attempts at new
pieces. When the time came, PJ was the only one who had written
something, which he named “The Lough Derg Jig,” called after the
lake near his Woodford home.

The words to
***
Of priests we can offer a charmin' variety,
Far renown'd for learnin' and piety;
Still, I'd advance ye widout impropriety,
Father O'Flynn as the flow'r of them all.
Chorus:
Here's a health to you, Father O'Flynn,
Slainte and slainte and slainte agin;
Pow'rfulest preacher, and tenderest teacher,
And kindliest creature in ould Donegal.
***
Don't talk of your Provost and Fellows of Trinity,
Famous forever at Greek and Latinity,
Dad and the divils and all at Divinity
***
Come, I venture to give ye my word,
Never the likes of his logic was heard,
Down from mythology into thayology,
Truth! and conchology if he'd the call.
***
Och Father O'Flynn, you've a wonderful way wid you,
All ould sinners are wishful to pray wid you,
All the young childer are wild for to play wid you,
You've such a way wid you, Father avick.
***
Still for all you've so gentle a soul,
Gad, you've your flock in the grandest control,
Checking the crazy ones, coaxin' onaisy ones,
Lifting the lazy ones on wid the stick.
***
And tho quite avoidin' all foolish frivolity;
Still at all seasons of innocent jollity,
Where was the playboy could claim an equality,
At comicality, Father, wid you?
***
Once the Bishop looked grave at your jest,
Till this remark set him off wid the rest:
"Is it lave gaiety all to the laity?
Cannot the clergy be Irishmen, too?”
***
Bayard (1981), in tracing the tune,
thinks that it is perhaps not Irish in origin but English, as English published
versions (from 1778) predate the Irish (1798). As “The Yorkshire Lasses” it can
be found in English country dance collections. This was the first tune learned
by piper Willie Clancy (1909-1973, Miltown Malbay, west Clare), taught to him
at age five by his flute-playing father, Gilbert Clancy. An early recording of
“Father O’Flynn” was by Ballybay, County Monaghan, piper Robert William
“Willie” Clarke (1889-1934) for Columbia Records of London in 1928, for a
series of records entitled “The Pipes of Three Nations” (which included a
Highland piper and a Northumbrian small-piper).
