BLOOD-RED ROSE (To Daunton Me). AKA and see "Moran's Return." Irish, Scottish; Slow Air (4/4 time). D Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. Scots poet Robert Burns wrote his son "The Blude Red Rose" to this air, classified as Scottish in older volumes. See also O'Farrell's "To Daunton Me", of which O'Neill's air seems to be a direct development of.
