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.

O Boyle remarks that the words to the song were written by the poet Devine of Moorlough in honor of a local girl, with whom local tradition has it that he remained in love with until they were very old, but never married. John Doherty told O Boyle how he learned the song:
***
Well it happened to be I was comin' down
through a place
called Meenaleenaghan, about within ten
miles of Glenties,
and I heard a young country girl bringing
home the cows
in the evening and whe was singin', and the
air of the song
caught my ear and I listened. I waited until
the girl came to
the road with the cows and says I 'Miss,
that's a beautiful
air'. 'Och indeed', she says 'it's not bad.
It's one of my mammy's.'
'I might try to learn that song from you if
I can' says I and she
says 'Any time you'd be up raking about the
house you can
take the fiddle and get the air,' and that's just how I got it.

We read in Irish history of several remarkable women named
Mor. The most celebrated of all was Mór Mumhan, the daughter
of Aedh Bennain (Hugh
Bannan, king of west
A.D. 614), about whom there is a curious story in the book of
in her youth; and that
ultimately she became the wife of Cathal Mac
abducted; and was discovered by Mór--who knew her by her
singing--somewhere in the district where Cloyne is situated.
Mór Mumhan (or Mór of
among the peasantry to this
day, for her beauty and her
adventures; and perhaps it may not be rash to conjecture
that she was the same as Mór of Cloyne, who gave name
to this air.
