DENIS DELANEY (Doncad/Donncad Ua Delanaig/Dunlainge). AKA and see "In Sweet Tipperary," "Sheelah O'Shannon." Irish, Double Jig (6/8 time). G Major. Standard tuning. AABBCC. "Mooncoin Jig (The)" is a related tune, although Paul de Grae points out that both are a close relative or ancestor of "Major (3) (The)," printed, for example, in O'Farrell's Pocket Companion, vol. 1[1]. Francis O'Neill himself noted that the "Dennis Delaney" melody could be found in Crosby's Irish Musical Repository (London, 1808, p. 149) as the vehicle for the song "In Sweet Tipperary, the pride of the throng," where "Sheelah O'Shannon" is the 'pride' or love interest[2].
