Back to Pretty Red Girl (1) (The)
PRETTY RED {HAIRED} GIRL [1], THE (An Cailín Deas Ruadh). AKA and see "Blackthorn Stick (6) (The)." Irish, Air (3/4 time). D Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. A variant under the title "An Bata Druin" (The Blackthorn Stick) can be found in the "Freeman Collection" (Journal of the Folk Song Society, volume VI, No. 10), though it is not the jig "The Blackthorn Stick" as found in O'Neill's. A similarly metered and structured melody is "Red Haired Man's Wife (1) (The)," which, although reminiscent of "The Pretty Red Haired Girl" in phrases, seems to be a different tune.
Source for notated version: the index to the Irish collector Edward Bunting's 1840 collection gives that the piece was obtained from "Thomas Broadwood Esq...Munster 1815."
