MOLLY FROM LONGFORD [2] (Mailí ón Longfort). Irish, Single Jig (12/8 time). E Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. The tune is more famously set as a reel under the "Molly from Longford (1)" title and, in another version, "Pay the Girl Her Fourpence." See also curate and fiddler biography:Rev. Luke Donnellan's (1878-1952) reel "Kitty from Longford" from his c. 1909 music manuscript collection, which is a related, perhaps cognate melody (there are both significant similarities and differences in the tunes).
