SAVOURNA DELIGHT ("Savourneen Dheelish" or "Sa Muirnin Dilis"). AKA – “Exile of Erin (2) (The).” Scottish, Irish (originally); Slow Air (4/4 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB (Gow): AB (Roche). A note in Gow states "A favorite Irish air." Samuel Bayard (Dance to the Fiddle, March to the Fife, 1981) observes it is essentially the same tune as "Tatter Jack Walsh," "Garden of Daisies (2) (The)," "Palatine's Daughter (The)," "So now my dear Johnny," and "Rough Heathy Little Hill (The)" (An {Garbh } Chnoicin Fraoigh).
