LOWLANDS OF HOLLAND [3]. Irish, Air (4/4 time). E Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. "This song to this air is known also in Scotland; but the Irish and the Scotch versions differ much. The Scotch song is given in Wood's Songs of Scotland; and I give here our Anglo-Irish words as I have always heard them sung by the people of Limerick. So far regarding the words. The Irish air is however quite different from the Scotch; it is well known in Munster; and I have been quite familiar with it all my life. It is now published for the first time" (Joyce). O'Neill prints a "Lowlands of Holland" which bears little resemblance to Joyce's tune, and says his setting "appears to be unknown beyond a limited district in west Cork" (where O'Neill was born).
