SHEEP ON THE MOUNTAINS, THE ("Caoire air/ar na sleibtib (Na)" or "Caoirigh ar na sléibhte (Na)"). Irish, Double Jig (6/8 time). D Mixolydian (Breathnach): D Major (O'Neill). Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. Breathnach (1976) notes this was the version played in Fingal, North County Dublin, and that O’Neill prints another version. See also the related “Oh! Hag You Have Killed Me (1).” Paul de Grae notes:

This jig is part of an extended tune family including "Will you come home with me," "Ask My Father," "With all my heart]]," "Oh! Hag You Have Killed Me (1)," and "Stolen Purse (The)." Petrie's "A dtiocfaidh tu abhaile liom" is also quite like the present tune.^[1]
