COACH ROAD TO SLIGO [1], THE (Bóthar an Chóiste go Sligeach). AKA and see "Billy Patterson('s Favorite)," "The Blackthorn Stick [1]," "The Boys of Bockhill/Rockhill," "The Catholic Boys [3]," "The Eagle's Nest," "Fire on the Mountain(s) [2]," "Fire in the Valley," "The Hare on the Mountain," "Humors of Bantry," "The Maid(en) on the Green," "The Rose on the Mountain [1]." Irish, Jig. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'B (Breathnach): AABB (Mulvihill): AABB' (DeMarco & Krassen, O'Neill). Breathnach identifies that Goodman and Joyce print the tune under the title "Boys of Rockhill," which is one of O'Neill's titles, although it also appears in O'Neill as "Humours of Bantry" and "Billy Patterson." Bayard (1981) gives it as "The Catholic Boys." The 'A' part shows up as the second part of "Welcome Home, Royal Charlie" in County Donegal versions. Breathnach also finds it in manuscripts from Castleisland, County Kerry, and County Limerick as "Fire on the Mountain" and "Fire in the Valley," respectively.

Source for notated versions: Sligo style fiddler Paddy Killoran (County Sligo, Ireland) [Breathnach, DeMarco & Krassen].
