Back to We'll all take a Sup in Our Turn

WE ALL TAKE A SUP IN OUR TURN. Irish, Air (6/8 time, "not a jig"). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. “Song Air, not a Jig” clarifies Irish collector Patrick Weston Joyce (1827-1914). Joyce elsewhere says ‘sup’ indicates “one mouthful of liquid: a small quantity drunk at one time. This is English:- 'I took a small sup of rum.' ('Robinson Crusoe.') 'We all take a sup in our turn.' (Irish Folk Song.)” Joyce had his melody from the Pigot Collection. The Joyce and O’Farrell versions are identical.
