SLEEP ON MY KATHLEEN DEAR (Codal leat mo Caitilin dileas). Irish, Slow Air (4/4 time). G Major/Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (O’Farrell): AABB' (O’Neill). Paul de Grae provides the background to this air in his "Notes to Sources of Tunes in the O'Neill Collections" (2017), here reproduced:
O'Neill's version is practically identical to Crosby's song setting, including grace notes; the few minor differences may be errors.
Crosby may have borrowed in his turn, as his settings an almost exact transposition from A to G of "Ailleacan Dubh O!" in Joseph C. Walker's Historical Memoirs of the Irish Bards (No. IX of the "Irish Melodies"). O'Farrell has a similar but not identical setting also in G and under O'Neill's title. A close variant is "Fair Hills of Eire O! (The)", better known as the son "Bán-Chnoic Éirinn Ó."
