DOWN THE HILL (Sios an Cnoc). AKA - "Down the Hills." AKA and see "Cover the Buckle," "Down with the Tithes (1)," "Humors of Milltown (1)." Irish, Air (6/8 time). G Minor (O'Neill): G Dorain (Stanford/Petrie). Standard tuning (fiddle). ABC (Stanford/Petrie): AABBCC (O'Neill). Perhaps short for "Chasing the Hare Down the Hill." The tune was also entered in County Cork cleric and uilleann piper James Goodman's large mid-19th century music manuscript collection (volume 1, p. 21).

Compare the tune with "Blooming Meadows (1)," cognate in the first strain, but only similar in the second strain.
