'''IRISH LAMENTATION'''. AKA and see "[[Limerick Lamentation]]," "[[King James' March to Limerick]]." Irish, Scottish, English; Slow Air, Waltz or Country Dance Tune (3/4 time). G Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Peter Barnes dates the melody to c. 1735 where it was used for a longways dance; he thinks "it's triple time measures were probably once danced with a six-count minuet step." The dating may be based on dance use, however, the melody as an air is quite a bit older in both Irish and Scottish tradition (see notes for "[[Limerick Lamentation]]" and "[[Lochaber No More]],").
