-'''BOYS OF PORTAFERRY, THE''' (Buacailli Puirt An Calad). AKA and see "The Sporting Boys [1]," "The Pullet [1]." Irish, Reel. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. David Taylor (1992) traces the tune and its relatives to the apparent root melody, a Scottish tune called "Pigeon on the Gale" (not to be confused with the similarly titled modern tune "Pigeon on the Gate"). The word 'gale' not only means a strong wind but also is the name for a bog-plant, also called 'sweet-gale', and either meaning may have been the one intended. Related tunes include "The Red-Haired Lass" and "Shearing the Sheep," while the 'B' part is inter-changeable with the same part in both "The Primrose Lass" and "The Brown-Eyed Girl" (although the 'A' parts are quite different).
