CAPTAIN THOMPSON. AKA and see "Maid of Castlecraigh," "Stormy Voyage." Irish, Air (4/4 time). D Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. "An indifferent setting of this fine melody, under the name of 'The Maid of Castlecraigh,' was published in 1842, in The Native Music of Ireland. I give here what I believe to be a much superior setting, as I heard it sung from my earliest days among the people of Limerick, and as it was published in 1872 in my Ancient Irish Music. The first part closely resembles the first part of the air to which Moore has written his song 'Oh, Arranmore, loved Arranmore'" (Joyce).
