Kevin Werner	Tune Req: Derry Down (110* d)	RE: Tune Req: Derry Down	16 Sep 19
Thank you for that, Lighter. That is definitely a variant of the tune. I've expected there to be songs that use the tune, but I was unable to find any. Shame, that no field (sound) recording of "Droylsden Wakes" seems to exist. As for Brinzi O Flynn, that was printed in Randolph/Legman's Unprintable Ozark Folksongs. Here are the respective pages: First: https://i.imgur.com/eiYEX8H.jpg Second: https://i.imgur.com/zvvoMjh.jpg Third: https://i.imgur.com/weW0AfW.jpg Last: https://i.imgur.com/zCihqdI.jpg There also a second text there, Thumble O'Lynn, also set to the Packington tune. I have never encountered another Brinzi version apart from the one given in this book. There's a Tombolin text in the Flanders collection that was sung to a variant of the Greensleeves tune. I have heard it as Barney O'Lynn, but that was sung to the tune "Irish Washerwoman". The tune I heard the most was however When She Cam Ben She Bobbit / Laird O Cockpen. Ok, I'm sorry for interrupting the discussion with this. Thanks again, Lighter, for helping me out.
