WILL YOU COME DOWN TO LIMERICK? [1] (A tiocfad tu sios go Luimnaig?). AKA and see “Follow Me Down to Limerick,” "Munster Gimlet," “Plumkum.” Irish, Slip Jig (9/8 time). G Major/Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB (Mitchell): AA'BC (O’Neill): AA’BCDEE’F (Mitchell). Francis O'Neill remarks in Irish Folk Music: A Fascinating Hobby:
An uncommonly fine tune of this class [i.e. slip jig], in three strains, obtained from John Ennis, is “Will You Come Down to Limerick?” Simpler versions are known to old-time musicians of Munster and Connacht, and in Chicago. Ennis had no monopoly of it, for it was well known to Delaney, Early, and McFadden. As an old-time Slip Jig it seems to have been called “The Munster Gimlet,” a singularly inapt title; but when it came into vogue by its song name, we are unable to say.
See also the related “Whack at the Whigs (A).” "Gold Ring (1) (The)" is a double-jig time variant.
Sources for notated versions: Chicago police patrolman, piper and flute player John Ennis, originally from County Kildare [O’Neill]; piper Willie Clancy (1918-1973, Miltown Malbay, west Clare) [Mitchell]; accordion maker and musician Martin Connolly (Ennis) [Treoir].
