GUEST,Martin Ryan	Origins: Funeral Song / Invitation to a Funeral (12)	RE: Origins: Funeral Song- Author?	18 Apr 07
I first heard it from Tony Holleran of Caherlistrane many years ago. The tune was ,indeed, The Teetotaller Reel. The version in the DT has some minor, possibly relatively recent variants in the lyrics. In the Keith Marsden song, BTW, there actually IS a funeral! Regards p.s. Declan: Jimmy Crowley was a regular in Holleran's Athlone Folk CLub and may well have learned it from Tony.
