The Kerry Dance was composed as a song, published in 1879 and usually attributed to James L. Molloy. The opening eight bars are virtually identical to The Cuckoo, written and composed by Miss Margaret Casson and published in London around 1790; Molloy added the music of the middle part and new words. The melody was cited as having commonly been played for country dances in Orange County, New York in the 1930s.
