LISBURN LASSES (1) (THE). Irish, Reel (4/4 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'B. The first strain is shared with "Tinker's Reel (1)" in O'Neill's Dance Music of Ireland (1907), but the second strain is different. Paul de Grae, who does not find the reel in collections earlier than Dance Music of Ireland (1907), suggests that both "Tinker's Reel [1]" and "Lisburn Lasses" are variations by Francis O'Neill's collaborator James O'Neill (no relation) on the tune "Free and Easy (2)"[1]
