COCK AND THE HEN [1], THE. AKA and see "Cathal McConnell's Slip Jig," "Dennis Ryan's Slip Jig," "Doodley Doodley Dank," "Whinny Hills of Leitrim (The)." Irish, Slip (or sometimes, 'Hop') Jig (9/8). B Minor ('A' part) & D Major ('B' part) {Cole, Feldman & O'Doherty, Kennedy, Miller & Perron, Roche, Ryan}: F# Minor ('A' part) & A Major ('B' part) {Taylor}: C Major ('A' part) & A Minor ('B' part) {Joyce}. Standard tuning (fiddle). ABB (Miller & Perron): AABB (most versions). The tune is sometimes called "Dennis Ryan's Slip Jig" (by, for example the Boys of the Lough) in honor of the County Offaly fiddle player. The group Lunasa called it "Cathal McConnell's" on their album "Otherworld," in honor of the Boys of the Lough flute player, while Josephine Marsh recorded it as "Northern Jig (The)" on her first solo album. The Donegal-associated "Doodley Doodley Dank" along with "Leather_You_Rogue_(The)" appear to be members of the same tune family as "Cock in the Hen (1)", finds researcher Conor Ward.

The melody appears in the c. 1785 music manuscript collection (as "The Cock and the Hen") of pastoral piper John Sutherland of Aberdeenshire, set in 3/8 time. The pastoral pipes were a precursor to the smallpipes. Sutherland's manuscript contained tunes from throughout Ireland and Britain.
