PENNYWORTH OF STRAW, THE. Irish, Reel (cut time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. Donnellan researcher Gerry O'Connor reconstructed the tune in his publication The Rose in the Gap, noting that Donnellan's original was a faulty transcription. He also changed the key to 'D' from Donnellan's original 'C'. O'Connor also finds correspondence in the Scottish puert-à-beal(mouth music) melody entitled " 'Na robh agam giobal bodaich bhogainn," "as an Alt E, sung in G."
