D Mixolydian (Breathnach): D Major (Harker/Rafferty, Miller, Taylor). Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Breathnach, Harker/Rafferty): AA'B (Sullivan): AA'BB' (Miller). The tune was popularized by the great Irish accordion player Joe Cooley (1924-1973), who spent a good portion of his adult life in America. It is still associated with him.
