LOVE AND WHISKEY. AKA and see "Bob and Joan," "Fill the Bumper Fair," "Stoneybatter (1)." Irish, Air (3/4 or 3/2 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. O'Farrell (c. 1808) lists the tune as Irish. The "Love and Whiskey" title for the melody (long popular under the titles "Bob and Joan," "Bobbing Joan," and variants) comes from a song in Wife of Two Husbands, a drama in five acts performed on the New York stage ("intersperced with songs, choruses, music and dances).
