LANDLADY, THE. Irish, Air (2/4 time). B Flat Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. The tune is attributed to blind Irish harper Turlough O'Carolan (1670-1738), although Donal O'Sullivan, in his definitive work on the bard could find no incontrovertible evidence of its origin. The words were attributed him in the Petrie manuscripts, a convivial lyric in which Carolan proffers a golden guinea to the landlady and calls for drink to toast his sweetheart. The tune seems likely to be Carolan's as well, thought O'Sullivan, although it does bear a strong resemblance to "Rose Tree (The)" or "Rose Tree in Full Bearing (The)", which may or may not predate it.
