'''ALL THE WAY TO GALWAY'''. Irish, Reel. D Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB, AABB. The air was set to a Jacobite era (early 18th century) song and was the precursor to "[[Yankee Doodle]]," which it resembles, particularly in the 'B' part. Breathnach (1976) finds the first printing of the tune in Glasgow publisher James Aird's '''Selection of Scotch, English, Irish and Foreign Airs''' (1780-1803) under the title "[[Galway Girls (The)]]." He quotes Crofton Crocker's '''The Popular Songs of Ireland''' (1839) which states "'All the way from Gallaway, early in the morning' is the burden of a popular song descriptive of the march of the Galway militia." See also the Scots relatives "[[Ciorsdan Mhor]]", "[[Big Kirsty]]", "[[Miss Stewart Bun Rannoch]]" and the strathspey "[[All the Way to Galloway]]". "[[Road to Lisdoonvarna (2)]]" is a variant.
