SLIGO TUNE (Abhran Shligigh). Irish, Slow Air (2/4 time). A Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. Collector Edward Bunting (1840) thought the first bar of this tune was similar to the Scotch song "Will you go to the Ewe Boughts Marion?," and opined: "The wildness of the melody is remarkable, though not without merit." The song is called "The Loss of Sandy" and was printed in latter 18th century collections such as The Roundelay; Or, the New Syren; a Collection of Choice Songs (1780) where it is given as sung bye Mrs. Wrighten, at Vauxhall:
Will you go to the ewe brights, Marion,
And wear in the sheep wi me;
The mavis sings sweetly, my Marion,
But have sa sweetly as thee:--
These aft were the words of my Sandy,
At night in the row of the glen;
But nee mair shall I meet wi my Sandy,
For Sandy to India is gane.
Bunting's word boughts in the tile variously appears as brights, bughts, euohts or folds in different publications. The earliest publication of the air is in Thomson's Orpheus Caledonius (1733), in a major key in duple time, but there are also triple time versions in minor keys. "The Duke of Gordon's three daughters" is a related version from the north of England.
