The tune is attributed to blind Irish harper Turlough O'Carolan (1670-1738), although Donal O'Sullivan (Carolan: Life and Times of an Irish Harper, 1958), in his definitive work on the bard could find no incontrovertible evidence of its origin. O'Sullivan set the tune in 'F' minor. See also Nathaniel Gow's elaboration of the melody in "Breeches Maker (The)." Uilleann piper O'Farrell printed the tune as "We'll all take coach and trip it away" around the turn of the 18th century. See also "Old Grey Goose (The)" and "Rakes of Kinsale (The)." O'Neill gives "You're Welcome to Waterford" as an alternate title in Dance Music of Ireland (1907).
