'''BONNY CUCKOO''', THE (An chuaichin mhaiseach). AKA and see "Sheebeg, Sheemore," "Sí Bheag, Sí Mohr," "Hills of Habersham." Irish, Air (3/4 or 6/8 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. The renowned Irish harper Turlough O'Carolan was supposed to have taken his song "Sí Bheag, Sí Mohr" from this air. Donal O'Sullivan (1983) notes that Edward Bunting's title ("The Bonny Cuckoo") is a mis-translation.

''Source for notated version'': according to the index of his 1840 collection, Irish collector Edward Bunting noted the tune from "Ballinascreen (Co. Derry) and from the late H(enry) Joy (one of the founders of the United Irishmen) Esq. Belfast, 1793."
