'''BOB AND JOAN'''. See "[[Boban John]]," "[[Bobbing Joan]]," "[[Bobbing Joe]]," "[[Hey for Stoney Batter]]," "[[Fill the Bumper Fair]]," "[[Love and Whiskey]]," "[[Stoneybatter (1)]]." Irish, Air or March (9/8). G Major (Colclough): D Major (Kennedy). Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Roche): AABB (Breathnach): AABB' (Kennedy). A variant of the Scottish tune "Boban John" here given in a different time  signature, although based on a triple hornpipe (3/2 time) theme that goes by various titles. The air was used in the opera '''The Wife of Two Husbands''' for the song "[[Love and Whiskey]]," to which Thomas Moore later wrote "[[Fill the Bumper Fair]]." Breathnach (1963) gives these words:

Crofton Croker mentions "Bob and Joan" in conjunction with James Gandsey (1769-1857), the famous Kerry piper (as reported by Brendan Breathnach in '''The Man and His Music''' {1997}).  Gandsey, who was nearly blind from smallpox contracted as an infant, nevertheless was an incomparable talent of his time on his instrument, whose talents also included telling a good story, singing a good song and holding his own at capping Latin verses (a skill learned as a youth in a hedge school) with any educated person in the county.  Croker describes several musical encounters with Gandsey at Gorham's Hibernian Hotel, at one of which a request was made of the piper for a lively song.  "Come boy, scrape away," said Gandsey to his son, a fiddler, and responded by singing "Bob and Joan," to which he had set his own words:
<!-- ************ PLEASE!!!!! ************* -->
<blockquote>
''To Killarney we will go,''<br>
''And see fair nature's beauties,''<br>
''The mountain topped with snow,''<br>
''And covered with arbutus.''<br>
''Oh! Then, to hear at night,''<br>
''At Gorham's, how entrancing,''<br>
''Old Gandsey play his pipes,''<br>
''Which steps the maids a dancing!''<br>
''Tow, row, row, row, row etc.''
</blockquote>
