| Extra Information
|
O'Neill's source was another famous Chicago piper, Police Sergeant James Early, who learnt the tune from Patrick (Patsy) Tuohey, who in turn learnt a version of the tune from John Hicks. Hicks, also a pipe player, was a protégé of gentleman piper Captain William Kelly, and had emigrated to America in 1850 as a young man.
