"Corney is Coming" is usually associated with uilleann pipers in modern times, sometimes called "The Honeymoon Reel." County Cork cleric and uilleann piper wikipedia:James_Goodman_(musicologist) (1828-1896) gives the tune as "The Bride to Bed," "Bride's to Bed (The)" and "My Love is in America (2)" in his large mid-19th century music manuscript collection. Joyce has it as "Brides Away" and "My Love is in the House" (there is another tune that goes by the latter title).
