BUTCHER'S MARCH [2], THE (Mairseail na mBuisteiri). AKA and see "Along with the Girls I'd Like to Be," "Bloody Oul' Hag is it Tay You Want?" "Bog of Allen (1) (The)," "Brendan Begley's Jig," "Butchers of Bristol (3) (The)," "Lark's March (The)." Irish, Double Jig (6/8 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB (Mulvihill, O'Neill, Taylor): AABB' (Harker/Rafferty, O'Brien): AABBCCDD (Breathnach). The original tune was a six-part jig published in the 18th century under the same title; see note for "annotation:Butcher's March (1)." O'Neill and Taylor have the parts reversed from each other. The tune appears as "Butcher's Jig" in the latter 19th century music manuscript of the Reynolds family of Gaigue, Co. Longford. See also the variants appearing in Breathnach's Ceol Rince na hÉireann, vol. II (1976), including no. 21 (p. 13, appears as "Gan ainm/untitled"), from County Clare fiddler Bill O'Mally. Breathnach printed several versions, "to demonstrate how much difference there may be between versions of the same tune, and there are many other versions still. In all probability the jig is connected with the May Day celebrations of the butchers long ago."

Compare also with the English/Scottish "Give Me a Lass with a Lump of Land."
