“And let us leave that as it is” is another rendering…
Raindog, is “Limerick Rake” a name you have as an alternate for that tune? I know I’ve played it in the past by a different name, but unfortunately have forgotten both. I recall that I liked the tune very much…got an ABC for me to get me kickstarted again?
I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if ‘The Limerick Rake’ is just another song written to the tune, which itself probably has a different name.
Here’s an ABC I threw together because none of the versions I found were quite the same as the one I’m familiar with.
This melody appears in the song, “The Limerick Rake”, sung by Mick Maloney. I have it on the Green Linnet recording, Mick Maloney With Eugene O’Donnell.
