The original title for this tune was unknown, and when a member of Francis O'Neill's traditional Irish music circle, one Sergeant Early (of the Chicago police force) remarked "with evident appreciation, 'Ah, that's well covered with moss'-alluding to its ancient strains" O'Neill seized upon the remark as a convenient title.
