DOUGARRY BOYS, THE. Irish, Jig (6/8 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune is contained in vol. 2 (p. 161) of the large mid-19th century music manuscript collection of County Cork cleric and uilleann piper biography:James Goodman. Researcher Conor Ward finds cognate melodies in the music manuscript collection of Patrick O'Farrell (c. 1835-?) of Ballinamuck, Co. Longford, as "Price of the Pig (The)" and as an untitled jig in Book 5 of County Leitrim piper and fiddler biography:Stephen Grier's large c. 1883 music manuscript collection (Grier, Book 5, No. 57). The first strain is similar to "Patrick's Day."
