BOLD JOHN O'LEARY (Seagan Dana Ua Laogaire). AKA and see "Wink of Her Eye [2]." Irish, Double Jig. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Some similarities to "My Darling Asleep." Perhaps there was an old ballad to this air, the appellation 'bold' often being given to outlaws and highwayman; however, to date I have not found one.
