class=\"n\u00f3ta-bun-leathanaigh\">Joe told Jim Cowdery that he learned this song from his father, and that his father was the only person he knew that had the song when he was growing up. While the air is for the most part the usual one associated with this song, Joe&#8217;s air differs somewhat from the one made popular by Johnny Joe Phaits\u00edn &#8216;ac&nbsp;Dhonncha. The last line of Johnny&#8217;s air is slightly different, and his performance as a whole has a more marked, four-square rhythm than Joe uses here. See Gael Linn EP recording GL13.<\/p>\n<p class=\"n\u00f3ta-bun-leathanaigh\">In recent years this song has become a favourite throughout Conamara, and predictably turns up at the annual Oireachtas competition when singers are asked for an amhr\u00e1n sciopa\u00ed (a fast song).
