Tune properties and standard notation
CHUIR Mé FEISTEAS AR MO THEACHSA (I Furnished Up My House). AKA and see "Bobby Casey's Hornpipe," "Humors of Tullycreen (The)/Humors of Tullycrine (The)." Irish, Hornpipe. A Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB (Moyland): AABB (Breathnach). Breathnach prints these words, from source John Kelly, with the air:
I furnished up my house as well as I was able,
With a three-legged stool and a fine old table.
That wouldn't do I had to get the cradle
And look for the bottle in the morning.
Sources for notated versions: fiddler John Kelly/Seán O'Kelly (Ireland) [Breathnach]; Johnny O'Leary (Sliabh Luachra region of the Cork-Kerry border) {Moylan quotes O'Leary saying:
And do you know where we got it? I was along with Denis Murphy behind playing in the Jug of Punch bar where Lil's sister is married in Killarney. And myself and Denis Murphy that opened the bar, I suppose about twenty-six years ago and Mike Sullivan, a man from Kilcummin, a fairly old heavy lad, a great set dancer, he walked up and came out with that hornpipe, we never had it heard. Denis held at it till he got it and I got it from Denis then and 'Mike Sullivan's' we called it. He usen't to play at all but he had every tune under the rising sun in his head. [Moylan].
