It sounds somewhat familiar but I am not a great tune identifier and I couldn’t find the notes for it either.
Thanks! ![]()

Swallow’s tail
Aha!! Thanks so much, I knew it sounded familiar. ![]()
Swallow’s tail
And also the “Swallow’s Nest.” Take yer pick!
I would associate ‘The Swallow’s Nest’ with a reel composed by Paddy O Brien. the jig would be closer to a jig version of the Swallow’s Tail(reel) so it does make sense t ostick with that name ![]()

Did you mean swallow’s tail, or swallow’s nest there? Aw heck, let’s just call it the one that goes “dye-diddle dee-diddle…” ![]()
That was a slip up :roll:
Considering it’s a short step from the Swallow’s Tail Reel:
eA ~A2 eA ~A2 Bdef gfge dG ~G2 dGBG BDEF G
to:
cAA eAA cBc edc BGG dGG gfg e ETC
Or it’s lower equivalent of
GEE BEE GEG BAG FDD ADD dcd B ETC
Swallow’s Tail would seem more appropriate.
There are many swallow’s tails out there.
2 that I know and play start as writ below:
eAA2 eAA2 Bdef g2ed G2BG dGBG Bdef g2fg
or:
e2dg eAA2 eAfA g2fg e2dB dGG2 BGBd g2fg
