MARY WILL YOU DO IT AGAIN? Irish, Reel. Ireland, County Donegal. Collected in 1904 by Padraig Mac Aodh O'Neill from the playing of Fawans, Kilmacrennen, Donegal, farmer and schoolmaster Proinseas Mac Suibhne and published in the Journal of the Irish Folk Song Society of that year. A note with the tune states it was used to accompany the Clap Dance, which Caoimhin Mac Aoidh (1994) remarks is still to be found in a few parts of Donegal, west Fermanagh, Cavan and Monaghan (though now danced to a hornpipe). A similar title is found in the jig "Mary Do it Again."
