Additional notes
Source for notated version: - Abram Sweetman Beamish, a native of the adjoining parish to that of Caheragh, County Cork, where Francis O’Neill was born. Although O’Neill got seven tunes from Beamish, only the “Fairhaired Boy [1]” and “Tie the Bonnet” were previously known to him despite their common place of origin [O’Neill].
