WELL, I KNOW WHAT KITTY WANTS. AKA and see "Echoes of Killarney," "Hen and all her broth (The)," "Maggie in the Woods," "Nancy Wants Her Own Share." Irish, Slide (12/8 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB'. The title "Well, I know what Kitty wants" comes from County Kerry accordion player Denis Doody, who recorded it on his influential 1978 album [1] of unaccompanied accordion music. He was born in Ballinahulla, near Ballydesmond, County Kerry, and was the grandson of musician Din Tarrant (whose name is attached to a number of tunes from the region). Doody spent some time in London, but returned to County Kerry in 1964, where he played with fiddler Denis Murphy and accordion player Johnny O'Leary.

The meldoy is popular and has been played under a variety of titles as a march ("Nancy Wants Her Own Share"), polka ("Maggie in the Woods"), single jig ("Echoes of Killarney") as well as a slide.
