It's in A.

This is in O'Neill's as the Humours Of Ballinlass.

This is not the tune played by Brian Rooney on Godfather, called The Chancellor.
I can't find another version or name for Rooney's tune. It's in G on this recording.

Anyone know anything about it?

West the Hill

Finbarr Dwyer's recorded this in G as "West the Hill" but I think that was a typo on the box. "West OF the Hill" sounds more reasonable. It's also in Breathnach's collections vol. 3.

O'Neill's

There is no tune named "The Humours Of Ballinlass" in either O'Neill's (1850 / Krassen) ? But is in Breathnach III / 228.

Try O'Neill's (1907), tune # 942
