The title is the English translation of an Irish phrase in the text.
I'd write the words out, but I'd never get the spelling of the Irish
bits right. Bloke goes for a walk, comes across a tiny cottage,
peers in through the window where he spies a tiny fairy girl singing
this tune as she stirs the fire. Falls in love with her.
All the best tunes come from the fairies.
