HUMORS OF WINTER, THE. AKA - "Sugra na geimread." AKA and see "Sleeping on a Doorstep." Irish, Double Jig (6/8 time). G Major ('A' part) & E Minor ('B' part). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune, substantially the same save for some slight differences in the second strain, was printed in Ryan's Mammoth Collection (1883) under the title "Sleeping on a Doorstep" and was attributed in that publication to one 'Conn. Regan'.


Additional notes
Source for notated version : - "Mahoney" [O'Neill]. A 'Mahony' is credited as the source for one other tune in the O'Neill collections, "Jack Loughlin," and perhaps refers to the same person (despite the difference in spelling).

Printed sources : - O'Neill (Krassen), 1976; p. 42. O'Neill (Music of Ireland: 1850 Melodies), 1903; No. 922, p. 172.
