MY NAME IS BOLD KELLY [1]. Irish, Air (6/8 time). G Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. "There is a different air with this name in Stanford-Petrie, which was contributed by me. But some mistake has crept in; for this is not the name I gave it. The spirited air I give here I remember from childhood as 'My Name is bold Kelly', as well as a verse or two of the song about Bold Kelly himself" (Joyce).
