| '''CONTENTMENT IS WEALTH''' ("Is Ionmus an Sagarlacd" or "Is Saidbreas an Sastacd). AKA and see "[[Golden Keyboard (2)]]." Irish, Double Jig. A Dorian (O'Neill): E Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCC. Bayard identifies this tune as an offshoot of the old tune "[[Lumps of Pudding (2)]]/[[Lumps of Puddings (2)]]." As to the title, the Scots national poet Robert Burns wrote a song to the air called "[[Contented Wi' Little]]," which may or may not apply. Bruce Olson believes it may have derived from a line in the second verso of the song "(Come) haste to the wedding (ye friends and ye neighbors)," which goes:
| |
| <blockquote> | |
| ''We boast of no wealth but contentment and health'',
| |
| </blockquote> | |
| The melody has been a favourite jig at Irish sessions in New York (where it is played in E Minor) and was recorded by fiddler Hugh Gillespie in the 1930's.
