MANTLE SO GREEN [1] (An Fallaing Com Glas). AKA and see "I Courted Lovely Sally." Irish, Air (3/4 time, "tenderly"). C Major (O'Neill): F Major (Darley & McCall). Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. The text for this air was a common 19th century broadside in which a young man, back from Waterloo, tests to see if his love (who at first does not recognize him) has remained true; Cazden (et al, 1982) collected a version called "Famed Waterloo" (with a different tune) in the Catskill Mountains of New York. See also P.W. Joyce's variant "Mantle so Green (2) (The)."

Source for notated version: fiddler Courtney Jones (Avoca, Co. Wicklow, Ireland) [Darley & McCall]; Mrs. Fitzgerald [O'Neill].

Printed sources: Darley & McCall (Darley & McCall Collection of Irish Music), 1914; No. 6, p. 2. O'Neill (Music of Ireland: 1850 Melodies), 1903; No. 357, p. 62.
