INDEED! THEN YOU SHAN'T/WON'T (Maisead ni m-beid tu). AKA and see "Bring Back the Child," "Down the Green Fields," "Where did You Lave Your Britchisheen Jack?" "No You Don't." Irish; Slide, March or Jig. G Major (Cole, Goodman, O'Neill): A Major (Levey). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Bayard (1981) traced the tune back to the traditional use in the West of England from the years 1800-1925 and states that it seems it first appears in print in Baring-Gould's Garland Of Country Song (1895, p. 88). He neglected Ryan's Mammoth Collection's version, printed in 1883. Still earlier, County Cork uilleann piper and Church of Ireland cleric James Goodman entered a version in his mid-19th century music manuscript collection. New York researcher, musician and writer Don Meade notes that a lilted version was recorded in the 78 RPM era by Frank Quinn, a singer, button accordion player and fiddler from County Longford.
