STRANGER FROM LIMERICK, A. Irish, Hornpipe (2/4 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Paul de Grae[1] compares the first strain of "Stranger from Limerick" with the first strain of "Lime Street," and the two are cognate but somewhat distanced. Paul points out this setting must have derived from a fiddler, for O'Neill's credited source, Father Fielding, was a flute player and "Stranger from Limerick" goes to a low 'G' note, below the range of a flute.
