SPRIGHTLY WIDOW, THE. AKA and see "How Much Has She Got?" Irish, Air or Jig (6/8 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. O'Neill's "How Much Has She Got?" seems to be a derivative of Petrie's "Sprightly Widow," both titles perhaps referencing a song set to the tune. Paul de Grae finds variant settings in the Petrie collections as "Girl I Love (2) (The)", of which Petrie had two versions that have the same first strain but a different second strain[1].
See also the similar "Field of Flowers (The)" and "Rivals (The)", both also in the O'Neill volumes.
