G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Perlman): AABB (Breathnach, Miller & Perron, Moylan): AABB' (Flaherty). A rare version of “Tom Ward” is called “The American Reel,” according to Caoimhin Mac Aoidh (1994). This alternate version was imported home to County Donegal by fiddler Charlie Doherty (of the famous fiddling Doherty family) when he returned after his years in America. During the 78 RPM era the melody (under the “Tom Ward” title) was recorded by Sligo fiddlers Michael Coleman in 1927 and Paddy Killoran in 1939 (paired with “[[McGovern's Favorite]]”). In was recorded by Peter Conlon in 1929 as the follow-up tune to “[[Coalminer's (The)]],” according to Philippe Varlet, although the label on the record called the medley “The Fiddler’s Delight.” O’Neill prints the tune as “The Mourne Mountains.” Barrel Rafferty, Galway flute player Mike Rafferty’s father, knew the tune by the title “Follow Me Down to Carlow,” although that title is usually applied to other melodies. A closely related American old-time tune is the Kentucky melody “"<incipit title="load:merri" width=850 link="https://tunearch.org/wiki/Merriweather">Merriweather</incipit>,” while the second strain of West Virginia fiddler Edden Hammons’ “<incipit title="load:gap" width=850 link="https://tunearch.org/wiki/Cumberland Gap (4)">Cumberland Gap (4)</incipit>,” mirrors the second strain of “Tow Ward’s Downfall.” | '''TOM WARD'S DOWNFALL''' (Bascadh Thomáis Mhic an Bháird).
