NANCY HYNES (Anna Ni h-Eidin). AKA and see "Ruaig an Mí-ádh," "Bag of Meal (The)," "Banish Misfortune (1)," "Little Bag of Meal (The)," "Humors of Mullinafauna (1) (The)," "Judy Hynes," "Máire Ní Eidhinn," "Nancy Hines," "Parish Girl (2)," "Round the Carthouse." Irish, Double Jig. D Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABCC (O'Neill/1915): AABB'CC (O'Neill/1850 & 1001). O'Neill's source, Chicago piper and flutist John Ennis, was the father of Tom Ennis, who was a famous piper in his own right. The younger Ennis recorded this tune on 78 RPM paired with "Sullivan's Jig." Another Irish-American piper, Jimmie McLaughlin (about whom nothing is known) also recorded the jig set on 78 RPM for the Gennet label (No. 5356), although he called the first melody "Judy Hynes").

Source for notated version: John Ennis, originally from County Kildare [O'Neill].
