Thanks to my regular Wednesday night session colleague Gerry Cassidy for his help in identifying the march on which this tune is based as "Ballyshannon Lane". I have a sneaking suspicion that there might be a set of lyrics to the Ballyshannon Lane song, but I don't know this for certain.

Apparently Ballyshannon Lane is a Wexford (South East end of Ireland) tune, although the better known town called Ballyshannon is in Donegal at the other end of the country. Given that the gaelic root for Bally is 'Baile' (a town) and 'Sionnach' (a fox) this town name could crop up anywhere in the country.
