The 1st part sounds like a variation of the cuckoo's nest.

To quote Ptarmigan, elsewhere and some time ago :

 

Planxty O’Reilly of Athcarne … ( Ua Raghallaigh Atha Carna )
Composed by Turlough O’Carolan.
 

 

 

[LR71]

Planxty O'Reilly is actually a quite chipper major key tune in 6/8, also from the pen of T O'C.  This number is likewise attributed to him, printed in 1842 as an "air or planxty."

 

This sounds a titch like the Hills of Coore, too.

There was a discussion about the tune on thesession: https://thesession.org/tunes/7028

 

in it, it was stated :

It’s number 138 in Donal O’Sullivan’s book on Carolan. He cites the Goodman manuscript in Trinity College as his source.
 

I don't have Sullivan's book although I read it some thirty years ago so can't comment on that any further. I wouldn't rule out there's more than one Planxty Reilly either.

 

Yes Hills of Coore, a bit and several others too like The Stream of the Cats/Humours of Tullycrine, Tuamgraney castle, Napoleon crossing the Rhine (or was it the Alps?) and all of those.
