MAUREEN FROM GIBERLAND [1]. AKA - "Maureen from Gibberland." AKA and see "Bhíosa lá I bport láirge," "Dainty Besom Maker (The)," "Forgive the Muse that Slumbered," "Gimblet (The)," "I'd Mourn the Hopes that Leave Me," "Johnny's Grey Breeks (2)," "Old Lea Rigg (The)," "Little Mary Cullinan," "Little Sheila Connellan," "Phelim O'Neill (1)," "Port Láirge," "Rose Tree (1) (The)," "Rose Tree in Full Bearing (The)." Irish, March (2/4 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB'. The title is perhaps an approximation of the Irish title "Moirin Ni Chuillenain," which goes to a Jacobite-period song in favor of the Stuart aspirations to the throne. The title is an allegorical name for Ireland, as are "Roisin dubh," "Graine Maol," "Sighile ni Ghadharadh" (Sheela O'Gara), and others.
