FOXY MARY [1]. Irish, Jig (6/8 time). D Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. Learned by Joyce in his boyhood in Limerick, mid-1800's. Breathnach (1976) finds the first part similar to the first part of "Bímíd ag Ól (1)." The first strain is also similar to Canon James Goodman's "Touch it up tight," with the melodic contour raised up one step. A related jig is Breathnach's "Toormore Jig."
