'''WELL DONE, CRIES SHE, BRAVE DONNELLY.''' Irish, Air (6/8 time). F Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. The air may accompany a song in praise of Irish boxer Dan Donnelly, who defeated the English Champion, George Cooper, on the Curragh of Kildare in November, 1815. Alternatively, it may accompany a version of the  bawdy song "Donnelly," one of whose stanzas goes:
<blockquote>
''There was a jolly knacker and he had a jolly ass,''<br>
''And he stuffed his box of pepper up the jolly asses arse.''<br>
''Oh then, “Brave done Donnelly, good enough,” says she,''<br>
''Oh then, “Well done Donnelly, and you're my man,” says she.''<br>
</blockquote>
The song is a variant of large "Jolly Tinker" song family, which appears as early as 1616 in a collection entitled '''Merry Drollery''', as "Roome for a Jovial Tinker or Old Brass to Mend."
