A re-working of "The Two-and-Sixpenny Girl" or "The Half-Crown Girl" with the addition of another part. Jackie Daly and Seamus Creagh recorded the tune as "Connie O'Connell's" after a fiddler player from Kilnamartyra, Múscraí (near Ballyvourney in west Cork). According to Breathnach (1985), the title is from County Limerick. County Fermanagh flute player Cathal McConnell recorded it in 1970 as "McNamara's Jig."

The jig belongs to a large and varied 6/8 tune family that includes "Aherlow Jig," "Money I Want (The)," "Quinn's Jig," "Ryan's Travels," "Spirits of Whisky (2)," and "Three Little Drummers (1) (The)."
