'''IS TRUA GAN PEATA 'N MHAOIR AGAM [1]'''. AKA and see "[[Your Mother’s Fair Pet]]," "[[Peata Beag mo Mháthar]]," "[[Peata Geal do Mháthar]]," "[[I'm Ready Now]]," "[[Mother and Child]]," "[[Our House at Home]]," "[[Yellow Cow (The)]]." Irish; Reel, Barn Dance and Air. D Major/A Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. Paul de Grae translates the title as "a pity I don't have the steward's pet." The name is from the chorus of a song (sung to the first part of the tune), from the playing of Doolin, County Clare, tin-whistle player Micho Russell (1915-1994) who called it "[[Peata Beag is a Mháthair]]" (Little pet and its mother). Breathnach finds versions in Joyce (Cnuasach ceoil a rinne Patrick Weston Joyce, pp. 12-13) and Petrie ('''Ancient Music of Ireland''', 1882, 42/43). He gives one of Russell's verses:
<blockquote>
''I wish I had a bainbhín ''     ......        bainbhín = young pig<br>
''A bainbhín, a bainbhín,''<br>
''I wish I had a bainbhín''<br>
''That would drink the pratie water.''<br>
</blockquote>
Russell maintained that drinking the water after boiling potatoes (i.e. pratie water) was good for your feet and that young pigs liked it (Piggott, '''Blooming Meadows''', 1998).  See note for "[[annotation:Our House at Home]]" for more on this tune family.
