AKA and see "[[Cuckoo's Nest (14) (The)]," "Forty Pounds of Feathers in a Hornet's Nest" (Pa.), "Come Ashore," "Jolly Tar," "Come Ashore Jolly Tar with Your Trousers On," "Jacky Tar." Irish, Air. The title comes from the poem by 18th century Munster poet Eoghan Rua Ó Súilleabháin (1748-1784) set (and still sung) to the tune of "The Cuckoo's Nest." Eoghan was a great talent, though something of a womanizer and earned the nickname Eoghan a' Bhéill Bhinn (Eoghan of the Sweet Mouth). }}
