"Shannon Breeze" is but one of a number of names for this Irish reel, which is widespread with several variants. The "Shannon Breeze" title is associated with musicians from the west of Ireland: on c. 1960's recordings by Mrs Crotty (West Clare) and Eddie Moloney (East Galway) "Shannon Breeze" is given as either the primary or alternate title for the tune, and these mark the earliest association between tune and title. West Clare tin whistle player Micho Russell (1915–1994) remarked that there is indeed a big breeze to be experienced on the Shannon, and gives the following words to the tune:
Where the river Shannon flows
Where the three leafed shamrock grows,
My heart is ever going
To my little Irish Rose.
The moment I meet her
With a hug and kiss I great her,
For there is nothing sweeter
Where the river Shannon flows.
New York accordion player Luke O’Malley maintains the piece was written by Peter Flynn, who lived near Belmullet in Mayo. The tune was recorded in 1930 by John McGettigan's Three-Leaf Shamrock Orchestra as the third tune in a set called "Highland Schottische Medley" (the tune titles were not listed on the recording).
