BACK OF THE HAGGARD (Taob Iar De'n Iotlann). AKA and see "Black's Hornpipe [2]," "Dan O'Leary's [2]," "Duke's Hornpipe," "Johnny O'Leary's," "Kershaw's Hornpipe," "Lady Flashdash Hornpipe," "Let's Have a Ceilidh," "Loyalist Hornpipe," "Miss Manner's Hornpipe," "Sliabh Mhachaire [1]," "The Tournmore," "The Toormore Polka [2]," "Tuar Mor Polka [2]," "Wallace's Cross." Irish, Hornpipe. D Major. Standard tuning. AABB (O'Neill {4 editions}): One part (Williamson; his version uses irregular measures). The melody can be found in many English collections under the alternate titles "Kershaw's Hornpipe," "Lady Flashdash Hornpipe," "Duke's Hornpipe" and others (see note for "Kershaw's Hornpipe" for more). A haggard or haggard was the corner of the farmyard that was farthest from the house (according to Reg Hall), but it also may refer to a farm building, as a shed or stable. Paul de Grae says the word is commonly used in Ireland and refers to a hay-yard, from the Norse hey-garthr. The Hyde Brothers (about whom nothing is known) recorded "Back of the Haggart" in New York in March, 1928.
