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). 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)." According to Breathnach (1985), "Ryan's Travels" is a County Limerick name for the jig.
