X:37025 T:BURKE'S T:Pete Kelly's B:MFC.081D % as "Burke's" C:ABC/arr. BB N:1:This tune has many different names and claims to authorship. Galway fiddler Pete Kelly told us he wrote it back in the 1950s for a junior ceili band he was putting together. N:2:I've appended a second version which I think is closer to the way the tune is played today than Martin's 1975 version.
