| |f_caption=Breathnach remarks that the tune was originally printed under the title Larry Grogan. In the liner notes for the album "Clare Concertinas: Bernard O'Sullivan and Tommy McMahon," Muiris Ó Rochain writes that County Sligo/New York fiddler Michael Coleman adapted the tune Coppers and Brass by adding a third part, the whole of which he renamed "The Humours of Ennistymon." Gearóid Ó hAllmhuráin (1999) believes that travelling piper Johnny Doran popularized the tune in Clare in the 1930's and 1940's, playing it as Coppers and Brass. | |

| The melody is known by most traditional musicians now-a-days by the title "Humours of Ennistymon," however, pipers seem to know it better as "Coppers and Brass." | |
| | |
| Breathnach remarks that the tune was originally printed (by John Walsh before 1736 in Country Dances Book the Second) under the title "Larry Grogan," named for the County Wexford gentleman piper of the early-mid 1700's.
| |
| | |
| Aird's (Selections, vol. II, c. 1790) "The Lasses of Melross" has the same first part.
| |
| | |
| O'Neill prints versions of the tune as "Hartigan's Fancy" (a poor version, states Breathnach), "By your leave, Larry Grogan," "Little Fanny's Fancy," and "The County Limerick Buckhunt." In a later O'Neill publication (Waifs and Strays) it appears as "The Limerick Buckhunt" and "The Waves of Tramore." Joyce (1909) gives it as "Green Sleeves." See also note for "Groom."
