DRIVE THE COWS HOME ("Tiomain na M-ba 'Sa Baile" or "Tioman na Ba a Baile"). AKA and see "Wedding Night Jig (The)." Scottish, Irish; March or Double Jig. A Mixolydian (O'Neill/Krassen): A Major (O'Neill/1850). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB'. O'Neill says that "although classed as a double jig, (it) was evidently a clan march."
Source for notated version: William McLean, "from whose piping I picked it up, (and who) played it in marching time on the Highland pipes" [O'Neill]. McLean was Scottish, born in Ross-Shire early in the 1800's, and met O'Neill around 1875. There is a short biographical sketch and a photograph of him (in full kilt) in Irish Minstrels and Musicians (1913, pp. 350-351).
Printed sources: O'Neill (Krassen), 1976; p. 26. O'Neill (Music of Ireland: 1850 Melodies), 1903; No. 806, p. 150. O'Neill (Dance Music of Ireland: 1001 Gems), 1907; No. 77, p. 29.
