The earliest appearance of this tune in print is in Boston music publisher Elias Howe's '''1000 Jigs and Reels''' (c. 1867), a post-Civil War compendium of tunes that Howe himself collected from New England musicians, and numerous others that he gleaned from a variety of publications. Howe's title for the tune was only the generic "A Favorite Reel," with no alternate title, and was collected from a local musician, Jimmy Norton, "The Boss Jig Player", whose repertoire included many Irish tunes. Harry Bradshaw and Jackie Small say the tune probably owes its popularity to County Leitrim flute player John McKenna (1880-1947), who recorded it in the 1920’s. “Sailor on the Rock” was said to have been a local Leitrim tune that McKenna brought into the standard repertoire through his influential 78 RPM recording. "Sailor on the Rock" was also recorded in 1922 by Michael Coleman, in a medley paired with "[[Bunch of Keys (The)]]" AKA "[[Paddy on the Turnpike]]." | '''SAILOR ON THE ROCK''' (Maraí ar an gCarraig or "Mairnéalach ar an gCarraig (An)").
