"Bumper(s,) Squire Jones", also known as "Bumpers Esquire Jones" or"Thomas Morres Jones" is an Irish air in 6/8 time and D Major. The parts are played AABB. It was composed by blind Irish harper Turlough O'Carolan (1670-1738). Although not often added, a coma should appear in the title after the first word rendering the title's meaning a cup filled to the brim in toast to Squire Jones ('bumpers'). O'Carolan composed the song prior to October, 1729, according to an entry in the diary of young Charles O'Conor, a harp pupil of O'Carolan's. There has been some historical speculation that the tune was originally composed by a London dancing master and published by Playford in his Dancing Master, 7th edition (1686) as "The Rummer" though a number of scholars disagree. The Squire Jones of the title has been variously described as Thomas Morris Jones of Moneyglass, Co. Leitrim, Mr. Jones of Moneygalss, Co. Antrim or Thomas Morres Jones of Moneyglass House, Duneane, Co. Antrim. It was printed in The Complete Works of Carolan (1984), P.M. Haverty's One Hundred Irish Airs vol. 1 (1858), Johnson's A Further Collection of Dances, Marches, Minuetts and Duetts of the Latter 18th Century (1998), Mulhollan's Selection of Irish and Scots Tunes (1804), O'Neill (Krassen)(1976), O'Neill's Music of Ireland: 1850 Melodies (1903), O'Sullivan's Carolan: The Life Times and Music of an Irish Harper (1958) and Thumoth's Twelve English and Twelve Irish Airs (1745). It was recorded by Mick O'Brien on May Morning Dew.
