It was \/ is a popular song air as well as dance tune and more widely known as <em>The Peeler and the Goat<\/em>. The \u2018Peeler\u2019 of the title refers to a policeman as they were generally known after Sir Robert Peel, who served as Chief Secretary of Ireland (1812 \u2013 1818) and later twice Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. His vehement anti-Catholic stances as well as heavy handed policing in Ireland left him as a widespread figure of derision. Many songs in English about policemen are sung to it and the Irish language song, <em>An Gadhar Bh\u00e1n<\/em>, is sung to it. The second tune came to Jim through his father who had learned it from Robert Sproule. The lyrics to the first verse of <em>An Gadhar Bh\u00e1n<\/em>are as follows:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Sa t-sean ghleann thiar a bh\u00ed s\u00ed raibh<br \/>\nGo dt\u00ed gur fh\u00e1s na h-adharc&#8217; uirthi<br \/>\nBliain is c\u00e9ad is corradh laethe<br \/>\nGo dt\u00e1inig an aois go tr\u00e9an uirthi<br \/>\nBh\u00ed s\u00ed i gcr\u00f3 bheag ins an cheo<br \/>\nGo dt\u00e1inig F\u00e9ile Eoin\u2018s gur \u00e9alaigh s\u00ed<br \/>\nThart an r\u00f3d san bealach m\u00f3r<br \/>\nGur lean a t\u00f3ir go gear uirthi.<\/em><\/p>\n<!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('audio');<\/script><![endif]-->\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-229-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"http:\/\/donegalfiddlemusic.ie\/donegalfiddlers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Track-4-Tipperary-Boys-The-Humours-of-Baile-na-bhFead.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/donegalfiddlemusic.ie\/donegalfiddlers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Track-4-Tipperary-Boys-The-Humours-of-Baile-na-bhFead.mp3\">http:\/\/donegalfiddlemusic.ie\/donegalfiddlers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Track-4-Tipperary-Boys-The-Humours-of-Baile-na-bhFead.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-183\" src=\"http:\/\/donegalfiddlemusic.ie\/donegalfiddlers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/4a-Tipperary-Boys-1024x752.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"752\" srcset=\"http:\/\/donegalfiddlemusic.ie\/donegalfiddlers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/4a-Tipperary-Boys-1024x752.png 1024w, http:\/\/donegalfiddlemusic.ie\/donegalfiddlers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/4a-Tipperary-Boys-980x720.png 980w, http:\/\/donegalfiddlemusic.ie\/donegalfiddlers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/4a-Tipperary-Boys-480x353.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-184\" src=\"http:\/\/donegalfiddlemusic.ie\/donegalfiddlers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/4B-The-Young-May-Moon-1024x727.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"727\" srcset=\"http:\/\/donegalfiddlemusic.ie\/donegalfiddlers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/4B-The-Young-May-Moon-1024x727.png 1024w, http:\/\/donegalfiddlemusic.ie\/donegalfiddlers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/4B-The-Young-May-Moon-980x696.png 980w, http:\/\/donegalfiddlemusic.ie\/donegalfiddlers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/4B-The-Young-May-Moon-480x341.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jim\u2019s source for the first tune was Matthew Buchanan who used the title given.
