"Bonny Green Garters" is also known as "The Rollicking Irishman", "Top Of Cork Road",
"Cork Road", "Yorkshire Lasses" and "Father O'Flynn" is an English Morris dance tune
in 6/8 time and G Major.
It is the traditional farewell tune during a morris dance performance. This version
was collected from the village of Headington, in England's Cotswolds, and is commonly
played following the Bampton version in the processional off the dance site.
It was printed in Bacon's The Morris Ring (1974), Barnes's English Country Dance
Tunes, vol. 2 (2005), Karpeles & Schofield's A Selection of 100 English Folk Dance
Airs (1951), Mallinson's Mally's Cotswold Morris Book (1988) and Raven's English Country
