'''CHEARC AR FAD IS AN tANRAIGH, AN''' (The Whole Chicken in the Soup). AKA and see "[[Charming Lovely Nancy]]," "[[Nancy Wants Her Own Share]]." Single Jig (12/8 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. Denis Murphy's title was "Charming Lovely Nancy" from the song set to the tune, which begins:
<blockquote>
'' "I am a maiden going for milk," ''<br>
''Says Nancy, says Nancy;''<br>
'' "I am a maiden going for milk," ''<br>
''Says charming lovely Nancy.''<br>
'' "And what would ou do if I followed you?" ''<br>
''Says Jimmy, says Jimmy,''<br>
'' "What would you do if I followed you?" ''<br>
''Says lazy lingering Jimmy.''<br>
</blockquote>
In Tipperary the tune is known as "[[Nancy Wants Her Own Share]]," according to Breathnach (1976), who says it is also related to "I know what Nancy wants" ([[Well I know what Kitty wants]]) printed in Breathnach's '''Folk Dances and Music of Ireland'''. The "Nancy Wants" and "Well, I know what Kitty wants" title are more closely related to "[[Maggie in the Woods]]" but point to a distance extended family relationship. This seems to be the case in the tile for a tune close to Breathnach's "Chearc ar fad", called "[[Maggie]]" in Peter Kennedy's 1954 '''Fiddler's Tune Book vol. 2.'''
