|f_annotation='''WILL YOU COME DOWN TO LIMERICK? [1]''' (A tiocfad tu sios go Luimnaig?).  AKA and see “[[Follow Me Down to Limerick]],” "[[Munster Gimlet]]," “[[Plumkum]].” Irish, Slip Jig (9/8 time). G Major/Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB (Mitchell): AA'BC (O’Neill): AA’BCDEE’F (Mitchell). Francis O'Neill remarks in '''Irish Folk Music: A Fascinating Hobby''': 
<blockquote>
''An uncommonly fine tune of this class'' [i.e. slip jig]'', in three strains, obtained from John Ennis, is'' ''“Will You Come Down to Limerick?” Simpler versions are known to old-time musicians of Munster and'' ''Connacht, and in Chicago. Ennis had no monopoly of it, for it was well known to Delaney, Early, and'' ''McFadden. As an old-time Slip Jig it seems to have been called “The Munster Gimlet,” a singularly inapt'' ''title; but when it came into vogue by its song name, we are unable to say.''[[File:irishmusicclub.jpg|500px|thumb|right|Member of the Irish Music Club, Chicago, c. 1903.
