"Bonnie Dundee" (the original one as in the Skene MS of 1625) would certainly work, but "The Road and the Miles" is sung to a variant of "The Banks of the Devon", popularized by Burns and adopted for a zillion different songs from about 1810 onwards. Burns sold well in Ireland so if an Irish song later turned out to use the same tune, you know where the songwriter got it from. |
