COW BEHIND THE HAY-COCK. Irish, Single Jig. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. This air, "in the Pigot Collection, (was) obtained from Miss Mary Eva Kelly of Portumna, Co. Galway; better known as 'Eva', the writer of national ballads in 'The Nation' newspaper, who seems to have had as cultivated a taste for Irish music as for literature. She is now Mrs. O'Doherty, the widow of the well-know Dr. Kevin Izod O'Doherty, and is living in hale old age in Australia" (Joyce).
