This tune has been going round my head almost incessantly for the last couple of weeks.

Mike - Your version differs a little bit from mine. What’s your source?

Here’s the version in my head:

…and, for those in doubt, it’s *not* a reel.

…clearly not a reel…

but what the heck IS it?

It’s a Carolan tune, isn’t it? I’m surprised no one else here has identified it as such. A quick internet search should comfirm it, though; just a second… yep! It’s an O’Carolan tune.

Pipe friendly version.

So many good tunes written and played by O’Carolan.
