Tune properties and standard notation


JOLLY PEDLAR [2], THE (An Ceannuighe/Ceannaidhe Sugach). AKA - "An Ceannuighe Sugach" (Cany-Soogagh). Irish, Air (3/8 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. Learned by Joyce as a child in Limerick (c. 1840's).

I am a young pedlar that rambles this nation o'er,
From seaport to seaport and market towns galore,
Among jolly comrades I spend my money free,
And the brave Canny Soogagh is noted in each counterie. ... (Joyce)
