Langolee is the Irish name of it,
Great in the nation already the fame of it;
Make but one trial and quickly you'll see,
There's nothing comparing with Langolee.

A song called "Volunteers of Ireland" was composed to this tune by the British in the Revolutionary War to commemorate Irishman in their ranks (Winstock). The title appears in Henry Robson's list of popular Northumbrian song and dance tunes ("The Northern Minstrel's Budget"), published c. 1800. Carlin (The Gow Collection), 1986; No. 345. Gow (Complete Repository), Part 3, 1806; p. 13. Winstock (Music of the Redcoats), 1970; p. 78 (appears as "Volunteers of Ireland").

LANGO LEE [1]. AKA - "Langolee." Scottish, English, Irish; Slow Jig or Air (6/8 time). England, Northumberland. A Mixolydian (Gow): D Major (Winstock). Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. See note for "Lango Lee (2)" for explanation of the term. Despite Gow's assertion that this was the "original" tune for "Lango Lee," the popular and widespread tune known by that title is "Lango Lee (2)." However, it appears as though Gow is correct, for his version, which appears in James Oswald's Caledonian Pocket Companion(vol. 9, p. 8, 1760) predates other tunes by this name in print. This is the second tune of a set of five (“Lango Lee," “Irish Lilt (8),” ”Trip to the Dargle,” “Priest in his Boots” and “She la na Gig”) collectively called "Irish Lilt," printed in London by T. Straight and T. Skillern c. 1775.
