Bunting, 1840, said he collected it in 1802, and that it had been composed by Thomas Connallon about 1660. (Bunting's collection has been reprinted). It is beyond my abilities to give Bunting's embellished tune as an ABC. There's a simpler version, "Sally Kelly", in the 2nd book of Niel Gow's Complete Repository, (1802) (also reprinted). A version appears as "Bearr an Veilbhit=Trim the Velvet" in B. Breathnach's Ceol Rince na hÉireann, III, #85. The first two are reprinted in Aloys Fleischmann's The Sources of Irish Traditional Music, 1998, I, #3760, and #3577. Breathnach gave other names for the tune as "The Humours of Flip", "The potlick", and "Kiss the maid behind the barrel".

Beware of that last title. It is shared by a number of different tunes; O'Neill's Music of Ireland, #1308 = Dance Music of Ireland, #571, and the complete Petrie collection, #884-#887.
