That's probably where Sam Kennedy got it, from Pete's recording although Sam was a good friend of Pete and it might have been the other way around since I heard the song sung by Sam in 1950. But just the first verse though was with "quietly" instead of "softly". It's a lovely plaintive melody in the Mixolydian mode like many Irish tunes. I think it's sean nos in the keening style. |
