Tune Information

Author: Traditional

Origin: Ireland

The title stems from the fact that this tune was used as the melody for a song for Thomas Jefferson's 1800 US presidential campaign. The original tune was named The Gobby-O, a title that may refer to a beggar boy, someone that talks too much, or perhaps a small freshwater fish.

Lisdoonvarna in County Clare is a former spa town where Victorians went for the healing mineral waters. It is located inland from the Cliffs of Moher. This tune is also known as All the Way to Galway, which exists both as a jig identical to this one and the closely related reel of the same name.
