Back to God Save Ireland

GOD SAVE IRELAND. Irish, March. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). ABB. The tune is the American Civil War song "Tramp Tramp Tramp (the Boys are Marching)" transplanted to Ireland. The title appears in a list of tunes in his repertoire brought by Philip Goodman, the last professional and traditional piper in Farney, Louth, to the Feis Ceoil in Belfast in 1898 (Breathnach, 1997). While mostly traditional in his repertoire, Goodman regularly played several novelty or 'popular' tunes.
