Z:ABC/arr. BB
N:Upper notes are for treble instruments.
N:"Composed by Nenagh, County Tipperary, button accordion player Paddy O'Brien (1922-1991),
N:in honor of renowned County Galway D/D# box player Joe Cooley, a contemporary who also
N:helped to popularize the tune. There are several variants of the second part of the tune in modern
N:usage, but regardless it remains a popular session tune." (< Fiddler's Companion) Second part
N:heard most often today is the one played by Noel Hill and Tony Linnane on their 1970's recording.
N:(Note: the G version is O'Brien's original one [without "Joe" in the title]. Since the tune is also
N:played in A, I have kept both settings in this file.)
