COME UP IN THE ROOM I WANT YOU. AKA and see "The Ballina Lass," "The Old Maids of Galway [2]." Irish, Reel. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. The tune is particularly associated with the playing of fiddler Johnny Henry of Doocastle, on the Mayo-Sligo border. Paul de Grae says the late north Kerry fiddler Paddy O'Sullivan had a similarly titled tune he called "Into the Room, I Want You," although his was a version of "The Mayo Lasses."
