TEIG MOIRA'S DAUGHTER (Ingean Teig Maire). AKA and see "I Wish You Were My Darling," "It's a Pity the Officer's Son is Not With Us," "I Wish the Shepherd's Pet Was Mine." Irish, Air (4/4 time, "with expression"). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. Francis O’Neill remembered the tune from his Bantry, west Cork, boyhood (c. 1840's) being sung by his parents. It begins:
Johnny bought a beaver hat,
Then Johnny bought a new cravat;
Johnny bought more things than that,
To coax Teige Maire’s daughter.
O'Neill states in Irish Minstrels and Musicians (p. 115): "A rollicking chorus ending in the phrase "I wish you were my darling" followed each verse. The song remembered only in a fragmentary way was not very edifying in sentiment. The subject dealt with ordinary escapades of merely local interest."
Paul de Grae remarks, "Reminiscent of the well-known song "Is Trua gan Peata 'n Mhaoir agam," in general contour rather than specific notes[1].
