History
A long slip jig in 9/8. O'Neill printed it with six parts, and players today use anywhere from three to five. Piper Tom Ennis and fiddler James Morrison made the first recording in 1923, and Michael Coleman's 1936 recording made it famous.
Brendan Breathnach collected a song to the tune called "The Bottle of Wine" from a singer in Miltown Malbay, County Clare. The title is older than this tune: piper Dinney Delaney recorded a different "Kid on the Mountain" in 1898.
