About this tune
Maggie in the Woods is an Irish polka also known as If I Had Maggie in the Wood and An bhFaca Tú Mo Shéamaisín. Its compact two-part form makes a clear contrast between the low opening and the higher answering melody.
Dotted skips and small turning figures give the tune its spring. The repeated sections use different endings to lead smoothly into the next part.
