OVER THE BRIDGE TO JUDY. Irish, Reel (whole time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. The tune is contained in vol. 2 of the large mid-19th century music manuscript collection of County Cork cleric and uilleann piper biography:James Goodman. Goodman manuscripts researchers Hugh and Lisa Shields find cognate reel that appears as "A Munster Reel" in Charles Villiers Stanford's edition of the music collection of George Petrie (Stanford/Petrie, 1905, No. 894). Petrie (1790-1866) obtained the tune from a younger collector, P.W. Joyce (1827-1914), but Petrie had some doubts about its pedigree for his collection, for he penciled in alongside the tune in his ms., "not to be used, too Scotch?"
