SÚISÍN BUIDHE, AN (The Yellow Blanket). AKA and see "Casadh an tSúgáin" (words only). Irish, Air (3/4 time). F Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. O'Sullivan (1983) notes the words of this song (sometimes known as "Súisín bán (An)") and of "Casadh an tSúgáin" have become "inextricably intertwined...so that it is almost impossible to say, in the case of any particular verse, whether it belongs to one song or the other."
