JOHN McGUIRE. AKA - "John MacGuire." AKA and see "McGuire's Lament," "Táiliúir an mhagaig/Mocking Tailor (The)." Irish, Air (3/8 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). ABC. The air (as "John MacGuire") was also entered into Book 2 of the large mid-19th century music manuscript collection of County Cork uilleann piper and Church of Ireland cleric wikipedia:James_Goodman_(musicologist). Hugh and Lisa Shields[1] note that the air is one of the airs commonly used for the song “Siubhán Ní Dhuibhir,” and they find a cognate melody as "McGuire's Lament" in O'Farrell's Pocket Companion for the Irish or Union Pipes, vol. 4 (p. 100). The Shields suggest comparison also with “Mártan na glóire," and O'Neill's "James my thousand treasures"/"Séamus mo mhíle stór" (Music of Ireland, 1903, No. 442)
