MY MIND WILL NEVER BE EASY/'AISY' (Ni beid mo aigne suaimneac go deo). AKA and see "Brouges an’ Brochan an’ A'," "I Lead Such a Troublesome Life," "Irishman's Choice (The)," "New Widow Well Married (1) (The)," "Tied to a Wife," "Whistling Thief (The)." Irish, Slip Jig (9/8 time). E Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. The ancestral tune to O'Neill's slip jig has a long history as an air and dance tune in Scotland, where it is called "<incipit title="load:Married" width=850 link="https://tunearch.org/wiki/Woo'd and Married and a'">Woo'd and Married and a'</incipit>." Paul de Grae notes that Petrie has a variant called "Time o' Day (The)", "the second part of which is the same as the first part of "My Mind will never be Aisy", but the other parts are different."[1] See also the related slide "She didn't Dance and Dance" and the jig "Happy to Meet Sorry to Part."
