COME ALONG WITH ME [1] (Tar Liomsa). Irish, Air (2/4 time, "with force"). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. A version of the 19th century English air "All 'Round My Hat (1)." Paul de Grae^[1] notes that it was "...a Cockney parody that proved very popular from the 1820s onward and spawned many versions; the one popular in Ireland, where the hat is adorned with a tri-coloured ribbon, is a later adaptation by Peadar Kearney, referring to the Easter Rising of 1916. The air may be English, and is also called "The Budgeon is a Fine Trade" (e.g., in Chappell's "Popular Music of the Olden Time")."
