GREEN SLEEVES [5]. Irish, Jig (6/8 time). D Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCCDDEE. The tune is reminiscent of the English "Greensleeves (2)," but so distanced as to be another melody altogether.

Source for notated version: the mid-19th cent. collection of uilleann piper and Church of Ireland cleric James Goodman [Shields].

Printed sources: Shields (Tunes of the Munster Pipers), 1999; No. 145, p. 62.
