G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune was a popular hornpipe and frequently recorded in the first half of the 20th century, albeit under a bewildering variety of titles. Accordion player P.J. Conlon (1885–1954) recorded the tune as "Hennessy's/[[Hennessey's Hornpipe (1)]]" in 1921, while County Sligo fiddler Michael Coleman [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Coleman_(musician)] (1891–1945) waxed it as "[[O'Neill's Hornpipe (1)]]." 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 sandwiched between "[[Rights of Man]]" 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 (1)]]."

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"[1]. 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).
