Tune Information

Author: Traditional

Origin: Ireland

A Piper on the Hob is a house cricket. During the colder nights the presence of a cricket was said to be a sign of good luck. Confusingly, there is another musically unrelated Irish jig of the same name (see the last link below).

Tune Information

Author: Traditional

Origin: Ireland

The melody was first printed by George Petrie in the mid-19th century under the title The Bucks of Ahasnagh. It may be a variant of the 17th century lowland Scots tune named Rock and a Wee Pickle Tow, which was a women's spinning song.
