G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). ABB (Roche): AABB (O'Neill). The tune can be found set in 6/8 time John Lee's Collection of Country Dances for the Present Year 1791 (Dublin), and in the Calvert Collection (1799), assembled by Thomas Calvert, a musician from Kelso, Scotland. A note in the mansucript states that Calvert supplied “a variety of music and instruments, instruments lent out, tun’d and repaired.” O'Neill records that none of the musicians in the Irish Music Club in Chicago at the turn of the 20th century knew the tune (contributed by James O'Neill), and that it did not appear in any Irish source known to him. He found the earliest appearance in print in McGoun's Repository of Scots and Irish Airs (1799) as "Mr. William Clark's Favorite." Frank Roche credits O'Neill with his setting, remarking that he "slightly altered it" for his 1927 publication. See note for “annotation:Three Sea Captains (The)” for more on the original of this tune and set dance.
