Oh Nelly, Nelly

Slide · 12/8 · D major

Oh Nelly, Nelly is a traditional Irish slide set in the key of D major. Because its specific composer and historical origins are not documented, musicians treat it as an anonymous folk tune within the broader Sliabh Luachra repertoire. Played in a characteristic 12/8 time signature, it features the bouncy, driving rhythm typical of the slide dance form.
