Give Me Your Hand
"Give Me Your Hand" (Tabhair dom do Lámh in Irish) is a tune from the early 17th century by Ruaidri Dáll Ó Catháin (c.1570-c.1650), perhaps in honour of a lady. It is one of the most widely recorded pieces of Irish and Scottish traditional music.
"Give Me Your Hand" is also the title of many another songs; e.g. Dorothy Stewart's unrelated song is well known.
