MORE LUCK TO US (Tuille sonais duinn). AKA and see "Cathasadh Muintre (An)," "Carrick's Rant," "Carrack's Rant/Reel," "Riley's Favorite," "Smith's a Gallant Fireman (The)." Irish, Reel. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (O'Neill/1850): ABB' (O'Neill/Krassen). The melody is similar in parts to "Mary Scott (1)," "Cothusadh Muintre (An)," "Riley's Favorite" and "Whiskey Before Breakfast." Paul de Grae remarks, "Clearly derived from [William Bradbury] Ryan's "Riley's Favorite" (RMC 64)--mostly identical, but cleverly reworked in places"^[1].
