Angry Gerbil Girl

Since there are so many names and spellings of the names of this song, locally we've taken a tip from the Session and called it Angry Gerbil Girl. Lee learned this tune from Moira Nelligan who had an entirely different name for it (of course). She said she learned it from the Chieftains 3 album.

This tune has been around a while, originally it was a planxty composed for voice and harp for the Hall family in County Down around the early 1700s.
