MOLLOY'S JIG. AKA - "Malloy's Favorite." AKA and see "Ballinamere Jig," "Father Morrison's Delight," "Molloy's Favorite Jig," "Moss Martin's," "Paddy Canny's Jig," "Paddy Carty's Favourite," "Tongs by the Fire (2) (The)," "Tony Molloy's." Irish, Double Jig. E Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune has South Sligo associations. Recorded by County Tipperary fiddler Sean Ryán (d. 1985) & P.J. Moloney. The jig is a variant of "Contentment is Wealth (1)," perhaps derived from the latter. Father John Quinn finds certain settings of 'Contentment' are quite like "Molloy's Jig"--"It is as if 'Molloy’s Jig' developed from “Contentment is Wealth,” he writes, "by occasional octave jumping, which perhaps happened on a flute."
