GO DE SIN DEN TÉ SIN. AKA and see: "Caide sin don té sin?," "Cad é sin don té sin?," "What is that to him," "What is that to him whom it does not concern," "What’s that to any one?." Irish, Air (6/8 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. Fr. John Quinn finds cognate melodies in “What's that to any one?” in Lynch's The Melodies of Ireland (1845-46)[1], albeit in 3/4 time, and in flautist John Clinton's Gems of Ireland (c. 1840), slightly more ornate, under the title “Greatest Diversion under the Sun"[2]. Edward Bunting's title "Caidé Sin Do'n Té Sin Nach mBaineann Sin Dó" (What is that to him whom it does not concern) is similar, but the melody is quite different from Goodman's air.
