NANCY'S BRANCHING TRESSES (Cuil Craobaig Anna). Irish, Air (4/4 time). F Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Paul de Grae suggests the tune may be a reworking of Edward Bunting's "Anna na Geraoibh" (Nancy of the Branching Tresses).

Source for notated version: credited to Chicago Police Sergeant James O'Neill, a fiddler originally from County Down and Francis O'Neill's collaborator [O'Neill].
