Uilleann pipers generally know the tune under the title "[[Wexford Hornpipe]]," the name by which influential piper Leo Rowsome [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leo_Rowsome] (1903-1970) recorded it in a medley between "[[Rights of Man (The)]]" and "[[Dunphy's Hornpipe]]." Rowsome's family hailed from Wexford. In 1926 piper Liam Walsh and fiddler J. O'Mahoney recorded the hornpipe as "Cork Hornpipe" [https://archive.org/details/UnknownPlayersPipesFiddlePianoHarvestHomeWexfordHornpipe], although that title generally is used for the tune familiar to most modern session musicians as "Harvest Home."

Paul de Grae points out that Francis O'Neill printed another, slightly different, setting of the tune entitled "[[Kelly's Hornpipe]]" in his '''O'Neill's Irish Music''' (1915), "which may reflect [Chicago fiddler] John McFadden's well-known penchant for variation"<ref>Paul de Grae, "Notes on Sources of Tunes in the O'Neill Collections", 2017 [https://www.irishtune.info/public/oneill-sources.htm].</ref>. Curiously, though, four years after originally publishing the reel in his '''Music of Ireland: 1850 Melodies''' (1903), O'Neill left "Pretty Maggie Morrissey" out of his second seminal volume, '''Dance Music of Ireland: 1001 Gems''' (1907).
