HEIGHHO MY JOCKEY. AKA - "Heigh Ho! My Jocky," "Heigh Ho! My Jacky." AKA and see "Drink to Her." Irish, Air (3/4 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The air appears in several Irish songsters of the early 19th century, and was the indicated tune for Thomas Moore's (1779–1852) song "Drink to Her" published in his Irish Melodies:

Drink to her who long
Hath waked the poet's sigh,
The girl who gave to song
What gold could never buy.
