Although the tune has popularly been known as a quintessential Irish jig, it might just as well have been an English country dance tune published in the 17th century and probably known since the late 16th century. Irish emigration is alas of all times. First publication in Ireland circa 1785 as The Wash Woman by Henri Mountian in Dublin; as The Irish Washerwoman since 1792. In fact, the word 'Irish' in the title only makes sense outside Ireland. A local wash woman in Ireland can do without the word Irish prefixed. Bread in France is 'baguette', not 'pain Français'.
