Back to Ligrum Cush
LIGRUM CUSH. AKA and see "Lacrum Cosh," "Sean Buidhe/Sean Bui," "Over the Water to Charlie," "Pot Stick," "Marquis of Granby (The)/Marquess of Granby (The)." Scottish, Jig. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. O'Neill (1922) remarks: "The expression Ligrum Cus, evidently corrupt Gaelic, may be translated "Let go my foot". It may also relate to the rent question. We can hardly blame the Scotch, while Irish titles in Moore's Melodies present similar difficulties." A tune by this name ("Ligurum Cuss") was the indicated tune for a song by Kane O'Hara for his opera Midas (1764).
