SPRIG OF SHILLELAGH [3], THE. Irish, Polka (2/4 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB’. The Flanagan brothers played the tune with a ‘B’ part of only fourteen bars rather than the usual sixteen (Dave Mallinson added the extra bars in the setting he prints). The first strain is nearly identical with the German folk song ‘Oh du lieber Augustin’
