BELLES OF SOUTH BOSTON. AKA and see "Favorite Hornpipe (2), "Flora (La)," "Pain's First Set of Quadrilles Figure 2," "Pinolara (La)," "Queen of May (1) (The) ." American, Hornpipe. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. South Boston--'Southie'--has had a long history as an Irish enclave. The tune, however, is a derivative (and elaboration of) the "Pain's First Set of Quadrilles Figure 2," and also appears under other titles.
