Tune properties and standard notation
JACKETS GREEN, THE. Irish, Air and March (2/4 time). G Major (Mulvihill): D Major (Miller & Perron). Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. Words to the song were written by Michael Scanlon (1836-1900), who also wrote "Bold Fenian men" and "Limerick is beautiful."
Oh Ireland! Sad is thy lonely soul, and loud beats the winter sea,
But sadder and higher the wild waves roll from the hearts that break for thee.
Yet grief shall come to our heartless foes, and their thrones in the dust be seen,
But Irish maids love none but those who wear the jackets green.
