HEN AND ALL HER BROTH, THE. Irish, Single Jig. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB'. A distanced version of the tune most familiar nowadays as the polka "Maggie in the Woods." It can also be heard played as a slides as "Echoes of Killarney" (also in Roche's volumes) and "Well I know what Kitty wants"), and as a march "Nancy Wants Her Own Share."
