DROWSY/DROWSIE MAGGIE [1] (Mairgreadin Taimeac/Suantac). AKA and see "Mind My Brother." Irish, Reel. E Dorian or E Minor ('A' part) & D Major ('B' part). Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Cranitch, Feldman & O'Doherty/Byrne, Flaherty, Martin & Hughes, Mulvihill, O'Malley, O'Neill/1850 & 1001, Spadaro, Tubridy): AAB (Cranford/Holland, Kennedy, Roche, Raven): AA'B (Vallely): ABB' (Feldman & O'Doherty/Doherty, O'Neill/Krassen): AABB (Brody, Phillips): AABB' (Sweet): AA'BB' (Harker/Rafferty, Reiner): AA'BC (Songer): ABCE (Breathnach). A very common reel, the basic form of which is known to most Irish traditional musicians, and which has transcended the genre into repertoire around the world in a variety of styles and genres. There is a version of "Drowsy Maggie" particular to County Donegal, where, again, it is a popular reel. A third part to the tune is sometimes played that was first recorded in 1938 by Frank O'Higgins (see transcriptions). Liz Carroll, in the notes to her album "A Friend Indeed," says the same third part was composed by the famous accordion player Joe Cooley, but in view of the fact that he would have been 14 at the time of O'Higgins' recording, this seems unlikely. Breathnach's source, Michael "The Master" McDermott (d. 1947), a schoolteacher and fiddler from Pomeroy and Carrigmore, County Tyrone, had two additional parts than the usual two-part setting; the first was similar to O'Higgins, while the fourth is a variation on the third. "Drowsy Maggie" is sometimes called "Sleepy Maggie"; the resemblance of the titles of these fundamentally different tunes has sometimes led to much confusion. See also the related "Lady's Bonnet (The)." Frank Roche's (1927) "Drousy Maggie" is a different tune.
Alan Lomax made a field recording of the tune for the Library of Congress in 1938 from the playing fiddler Patrick Bonner (1882-1973) of St. James, Beaver Island, Michigan. It was called "Rousy Maggie" (AFS 02269 A02) in the field notes. Bonner had learned his repertoire and style from older fiddler on the island, late 19th century immigrants from Ireland.
