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)
