'''MARY FROM BLACKWATER SIDE.''' Irish, Air (4/4 time). A Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. O'Neill (1922) says his melody "[[Connacht Mother's Slumber Song]]" "betrays a similar origin" with this tune. However that may be, "Mary from Blackwater Side" is a variant of the well-known air "[[Star of the County Down]]."
