MUNSTER GIMLET. AKA and see "Kitty Come Down to Limerick," "Plumkum," "Will You Come Down to Limerick (1)". Irish, Slip Jig. G Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB'. The famed early 20th century Irish-American piper Patsy Twohey/Tuohey called the tune by this title.

Kitty come down, come down,
Kitty come down to Limerick.
I knew by the glint in her eye
That she wanted a touch of the gimlet!

A gimlet is a tool for boring holes in wood; thus a bawdy connotation.
