The tune is listed as "The Real Blackthorn Stick" on the label of County Sligo/New York fiddler Michael Coleman's 1924 recording, made in New York for the M. & C. New Republic Irish Recording Company.  The label was founded in 1921 by Peter McGettrick and James Clinton. It sported a green, white and gold flag-draped sunrise label decorated with shamrocks and advertised itself as the first all-Ireland record company to have marketed Irish records.
