WELCOME HERE AGAIN. AKA and see “Bayham Abbey,” “Duncan Davidson,” “1812 March,” “Gentle Ann,” "Handy Andy's Highland Fling," “He is Long a Coming,” "Maggy's Weame is Fu I Trow,” “Welcome Home,” "Ye'll Aye be Welcome Back Again," "You be Welcome Here Again." Scottish, English; Country Dance Tune or Reel. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune dates to before 1734 when it appeared in David Young's Drummond Castle manuscript collection, and was published (as "You be Welcome Here Again") in 1744 by London publisher John Johnson. Church of Ireland cleric and uilleann piper wikipedia:James_Goodman_(musicologist) (1828-1896) included the melody in Book 2 of his mid-19th century music manuscript. Goodman collected in tradition in Cork and elsewhere in Munster, but also obtained tunes from manuscripts and printed collections, and it is not known where he came across “Welcome Here Again.”
There is an apocryphal story, published by Preston in 1786, that the tune was composed in 1775 by Robert Steele, a drummer boy at the battle of Bunker Hill in Boston, the title being a derisive reference to the numerous British losses in taking the heights at Breed's Hill (Bunker Hill).
