Sí Bheag, Sí Mhór
The tune is usually attributed to blind harpist and singer Turlough O'Carolan (1670 – 1738) as his first song, written to the tune of "The Bonnie Cuckoo".
Sí Mór (Sheemore) and Sí Beag (Sheebeg) are the names given to two small hills, situated close to each other in south County Leitrim, said to be ancient burial sites, and to a site in Carolan's birth county of Meath.
One author describes it as a "beautiful old Irish air, usually played simply and leisurely, and occasionally played as a waltz".

Yes, that's great. My favourite rendition is this one done with a slide on an old Italian guitar.
