“Toura for Sour Buttermilk”

Description

"Toura for sour buttermilk Belleek for the brandy The Commons was the divil's hole But Mulleek was the dandy"

Notes

The current description is all of the Tunney-StoneFiddle fragment.

Mulleek, Belleek and Toura are in County Fermanagh. Commons may be in Belleek.

The words of the Tunney-StoneFiddle fragment remind me of "Coffee Grows" and "Weavily Wheat" though its reel tune is not at all similar. - BS
