Does anyone have the sheet music for Mrs. Durkin (Muirsheen Durkin)?

As in Goodbye, Muirsheen Durkin, sure I’m sick and tired of working?

I have the tune in front of me - but no way to scan it. A search has revealed the lyrics on dozens of sites, and the chords, but not the main tune.

Here it is in ABC format. The timing changes a bit occasionally to fit the verses.

K: C
T: Muirsheen Durkin
L: 1/8
M: 2/4

From Concertina.net
No image available – there’s probably a error in the ABC source causing the conversion to fail. :sniffle:

Non-abc-er! I guess I’m just too foolish :boggle:

I’ve tried to tidy up the ABC so it’ll give a pdf sheetmusic from Concertina.net. I haven’t got it all cleaned up yet, so it doesn’t work fully.

But I think I’m 99% there!

Durn, Carol sorted it out, but I missed out a bar near the end.

Thanks to Carol for some great teamwork, and this time it really works!
I’m not sure about the way the timing sounds on the midi, but it does match the shettmusic I have. Alter the timing to suit the words.
