MOLLY MY DEAR (Maire a Run). AKA - "Ó Máire Dhlis," "O Molly My Dear." Irish, Air (3/8 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. The air was employed by Thomas Moore (1779-1852) for his song "At the Mid Hour of Night," but seems to have been based on a harp air with a faster (9/8) tempo. See Annotation:O Molly My Dear for more.
