YELLOW GARRON, THE (An Garran Buide). Irish, Air (2/4 time, "with spirit"). A Mixolydian/D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. Two setting of the air were originally published by Edward Bunting as "Gearan Budhe--Yellow Horse," and O'Neill's is nearly exactly a copy of the second version, save that the seventh's are flat (i.e. mixolydian mode) in Bunting.

Source for notated version: "J. O'Neill" [O'Neill]. The tune was contibuted by Chicago Police Sergeant James O'Neill, a fiddler originally from County Down. James served as Francis O'Neill's transcriber and colloborator on the latter's early volumes of Irish music.

Printed sources: O'Neill (Music of Ireland: 1850 Melodies), 1903; No. 405, p. 70.
