SHEAMUIS BHIG A’ bhFUIL OCRAS ORT?, A (Little Seamus are you Hungry?). AKA and see “Roving Bachelor (The).” Irish, Highland (whole time). Ireland, Donegal. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'B. This tune, which appears as an 'untitled barn dance' in Feldman & O'Doherty's The Northern Fiddler (1979), is "actually a Highland and known throughout Donegal as "A Sheamuis Big a bhruil Ocreas Ort? (Are you hungry little Seamus?) and appears in Cole's/Ryan as "Roving Bachelor (The)" [1]." It is one of the relatively few highlands derived from a song air, rather than a Scottish strathspey melody.
