Source for notated version: "Taken down more than fifty years ago from James Buckley, a Limerick piper. It is a version of Sldinte Righ Philip, an air which has been already printed more than one: but this setting is so good and so characteristic that it deserves to be preserved. I have an Irish song to this air all about the Gamhuin Geal ban" (Joyce).
