Back to Oh Sheela My Love

OH SHEELA MY LOVE (A Sigile Mo Grad). AKA - "Oh Sheela My Love Say Will You Be Mine," "Sheila Ní Guira," "Sheela O'Gara (3)." Irish, Air (6/8 time, "gaily"). E Minor (O'Neill): A Dorian (Kennedy). Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (O'Neill): AABB (Kennedy). The tonality shifts between E minor and A dorian. O'Neill's tune, attributed to Harnett, is an exact duplicate of Petrie's "Oh, Sheela, My Love, Say Will You Be Mine?", finds Paul de Grae. See also the close variant "Sheelina Gra Will You be Mine" from piper O'Farrell's early 19th century collection.
