DERMOT AND HIS LASS [1] (Diarmuid agus a chailín). Irish, Air (3/4 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. O'Sullivan (1983) chose the tune printed in London by Thomas D'Urfey in Pills to Purge Melancholy (vol. IV, 1719) set to words collected by Edward Bunting (1773-1843)from his friend Henry Joy McCracken [] of Belfast in 1800, as it is "much older and seems more suited to the words." D'Urfey headed the piece "An Irish Song. Set by Mr. Leveridge."
One Sunday after Mass
Dermot and his lass
To the green wood did pass,
All alone, all alone, all alone.
He asked for one pogue (kiss),
She called him a rogue,
And struck him with her brogue (shoe),
Oh hone, oh hone, oh hone (alas)!
