Anyone know a source for the musical notation of this tune? Or even a simple ABC without ornamentation. Just listened to Sinead O’Connor singing this and I am smitten. Thanks.
Elbogo, I’m not familiar with it, but there’s lots of resources on the web. From what I can see, this is a trad tune, so there’s bound to be something on Google. Try this one and see if this is what you’re looking for:

Thanks, dkm, got it!
Elbogo, if you can’t find the sheet music, try this link http://www.notation.com/midinotatedownload.htm , it’s a free trial to a midi notation conversion program, that might help.. :roll:
Good luck

“elbo going” good, thanks! Actually, I do have tennis elbow in my left arm, but it’s not affected at all with practice, and in fact seems to have all but disappeared since I started playing the pipes(?)
Thanks all for info… I found Lord Franklin.
