DARK GIRL DRESSED IN BLUE [3], THE (An cailín dubh i bhfeisteas gorm). AKA - "Dark Girl (The)." AKA and see "This is No My Ain Lassie (2)." Irish, Polka (2/4 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. This polka is from the northern Irish tradition (i.e. Sligo/Roscommon/Leitrim) musically more "busy" than the Munster polkas that are more frequently heard, yet still played throughout Ireland. "Dark Girl Dressed in Blue" was paired with a version of the Scottish melody "My Love is but a Lassie (1)" as the second tune in a set of polkas recorded in New York by County Sligo musicians John McKenna (flute) and James Morrison (fiddle) in 1928. The set was recorded in 1969 by sibling Sliabh Luachra fiddlers Julia Clifford and James Morrison on their recording "The Star Above the Garter".
