|f_annotation='''MY BRIDE IS A YOUNG THING.''' Irish, Reel (whole time). A Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. "My Bride is a Young Thing" is a member of the extremely large and varied "[[Haughs of Cromdale (The)]]" tune family. For more information see annotation under "[[annotation:Haughs of Cromdale (The)|Haughs of Cromdale]]".

See also County Mayo farmer and fiddler Philip Carolan's (c. 1839-1910) "[[New Bank of Ireland (The)]]" for another cognate member of the "[[Haughs of Cromdale (The)]]" tune family that is fairly comparable to Goodman's 'Bride' tune.
