COCK YOUR PISTOL CHARLEY [1]. AKA and see "Captain Murray's Fancy," "Gooseberry Blossoms." Irish, Reel. A Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. See Bayard, 1981; No. 220, pp. 177-178 for a note that includes his rather vague speculations on this tune. The rhythms of different versions varies between duple and triple: Kennedy prints a reel version, Roche gives versions in both jig (see [2], below) and a dotted duple-metre that could almost be a single jig.

Printed sources: Kennedy (Traditional Dance Music of Britain and Ireland: Reels and Rants), 1997; No. 23, p. 7. Roche Collection, 1913; vol. 2, p. 21, No. 242.
