Back to All Covered with Moss
All Covered With Moss
Changes key to 'G' in the second strain. The original title for this tune was unknown, and when a member of Francis O'Neill's traditional Irish music circle, one Sergeant Early (of the Chicago police force) remarked "with evident appreciation, 'Ah, that's well covered with moss'-alluding to its ancient strains" O'Neill seized upon the remark as a convenient title. [O'Neill's Irish Folk Music: A Fascinating Hobby (1910)] [page needed]
